Anaesthesia for patients with mitochondrial myopathy.

Abstract
The anaesthetic management for an infant with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy due to fumarase deficiency is described. Mitochondrial myopathies may produce skeletal and cardiac muscle abnormalities, central nervous system effects and metabolic problems. The solutions to the anaesthetic problems posed by these patients are discussed.
