Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: As distrofias miotônicas são doenças neuromusculares de transmissão autossômica dominante. Dentre elas, a distrofia miotônica tipo 1 (DM1), ou doença de Steinert, é a mais comum no adulto e, além do envolvimento muscular, apresenta manifestações sistêmicas importantes. A DM1 representa um desafio para o anestesiologista. Os pacientes apresentam maior sensibilidade às drogas anestésicas e complicações, principalmente cardíacas e pulmonares. Além disso, há a possibilidade de apresentarem hipertermia maligna e crise miotônica. Descreveu-se o caso de um paciente que teve complicação pulmonar importante após ser submetido à anestesia geral. RELATO DO CASO: Paciente de 39 anos, portador de DM1, foi submetido à anestesia geral para colecistectomia videolaparoscópica. A anestesia foi venosa total com propofol e remifentanil e rocurônio. O procedimento cirúrgico de 90 minutos não apresentou intercorrências, mas após a extubação o paciente apresentou insuficiência respiratória e crise miotônica, que tornou a intubação traqueal impossível. Utilizou-se a máscara laríngea, que possibilitou a oxigenação adequada, e a ventilação mecânica foi mantida até a recuperação total da atividade respiratória. Evolução ocorreu sem outras complicações. CONCLUSÕES: A DM1 é uma doença que apresenta várias peculiaridades para o anestesiologista. O conhecimento minucioso do seu envolvimento sistêmico, associado à ação diferenciada das drogas anestésicas nesses pacientes, proporcionará um ato anestésicocirúrgico mais seguro.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Myotonic dystrophies are autosomal dominant neuromuscular diseases. Among them, myotonic dystrophy type 1 (MD1), or Steinert disease, is the most common in adults, and besides muscular involvement it also has important systemic manifestations. Myotonic dystrophy type 1 poses a challenge to the anesthesiologist. Those patients are more sensitive to anesthetics and prone to cardiac and pulmonary complications. Besides, the possibility of developing malignant hyperthermia and myotonic episodes is also present. CASE REPORT: This is a 39-year old patient with DM1 who underwent general anesthesia for videolaparoscopic cholecystectomy. Total intravenous anesthesia with propofol, remifentanil, and rocuronium was the technique chosen. Intercurrences were not observed in the 90-minute surgical procedure, but after extubation, the patient developed respiratory failure and myotonia, which made tracheal intubation impossible. A laryngeal mask was used, allowing adequate oxygenation, and mechanical ventilation was maintained until full recovery of the respiratory function. The patient did not develop further complications. CONCLUSIONS: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 presents several particularities to the anesthesiologist. Detailed knowledge of its systemic involvement along with the differentiated action of anesthetic drugs in those patients will provide safer anesthetic-surgical procedure.
