Anesthetic management in a patient with Friedreich’s Ataxia: A different approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Friedreich's Ataxia (FA) is a rare autosomal recessive disease. FA is clinically characterized by progressive ataxia, especially loss of reflex and power in the lower extremities, spasticity and loss of proprioceptive sensory. There is an increased sensitivity to non-depolarizing muscle relaxants in neurodegenerative diseases. Care must be taken of anesthesia management for the use of volatile anesthetics and muscle relaxants, and precautions should be taken for difficult airway management which is due to secondary to kyphoscoliosis and comorbidities. In this case, anesthesia management of emergency operation for septal hematoma by TIVA without using of muscle relaxants and minimalized hemodynamic response depending on the intubation by videolaryngoscope were presented.

Paradoxical Abnormalities of Intra and Postoperative Neuroelectrical Recording of a Scoliotic Child with Friedreich’s Ataxia
Background Scoliosis is a common skeletal problem in Friedreich’s ataxia. There are both non-operative and operative treatment modalities for scoliosis in these patients. However, success with bracing is very limited. Surgical correction is beneficial, however intra-operative neuromonitoring in these patients could be misleading. We present a patient with Friedreich’s ataxia who presented with ...

Friedreich’s Ataxia with Epileptic Seizures
Friedreich’s ataxia is an autosomal recessively inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansions of an unstable GAA trinucleotide repeat in the STM7/X25 gene on chromosome 9q. This disease can be associated with many abnormalities: cerebellar and sensory ataxia, heart disease – aproximately two third of the patients, musculoskeletal deformities – scoliosis being the most common, diabet...
متن کاملClinical and Genetic Study of Friedreich’s Ataxia and Ataxia with Vitamin E Deficiency in 44 Moroccan Families
Introduction: Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is a multi-system autosomal-recessive disease, the most common one of the genetically inherited ataxias. FRDA occurs as a consequence of mutations in the frataxin gene, with an expansion of a GAA trinucleotide. Ataxia with vitamin E deficiency (AVED) is characterized clinically by neurological symptoms with often striking resemblance to those of Friedreich...
متن کاملExpandable DNA Repeat and Human Hereditary Disorders
Background & Aims: Nearly 30 hereditary disorders in humans result from an increase in the number of copies of simple repeats in genomic DNA, including fragile X syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, Huntington’s disease, and Friedreich’s ataxia. One the most frequently occurring types of mutation is trinucleotide repeat expansion. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the cause...
