Abstract


Many very different diseases are classified as neuromuscular diseases, and the majority of them are and difficult to differentiate, unless one is dealing with them on a daily basis.

However, patients with neuromuscular disorders often share the same three problems in relation to an aesthesia, independent of the type of the disorder: they may have a cardiomyopathy, a restricted respiratory capacity and an abnormal response to muscle relaxants.

As regard intracranial lesions, hemiplegic patients show resistance to non-depolarizing agents and hyperkalaemia and may be cardiac arrest in response to suxamrthonium administration.

Multiple sclerosis and diffusti intracranial lesions accompanied with normal response to non-depolarizing agents, and hyperkalaemia and contracture following suxamethonium administration.

Spinal cord lesions such as paraplegia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis associated with increased sensitivity to non­ depolarizing agents, and hyperkalaemia and contracute after suxamethonium adminisation.
