Georg Bollig. Paediatr Anaesth. 2013 Sep.

Abstract

McArdles disease (glycogen storage disease type v) is a rare condition in which energy-metabolism in the muscle is hampered. A case report is presented and the possible risk for perioperative complications including malignant hyperthermia is discussed. A checklist for the anesthesiological management of patients with McArdles disease is provided. A short overview of anesthesiological challenges and perioperative complications of other glycogen storage diseases is given.

Keywords: McArdles disease; general anesthesia; glycogen storage disease; glycogen storage disease type V; malignant hyperthermia; perioperative complications.
