A2 - Atchabahian, Arthur A2 - Gupta, Ruchir PY - 2013 T2 - The Anesthesia Guide AB - Patients with undiagnosed neuromuscular disorder and hypotonia frequently present for a muscle biopsy. Most patients present because they do not carry a diagnosis yet. Hence, there is always uncertainty about the underlying pathophysiology. The toddler with an undiagnosed hypotonia could have a mitochondrial myopathy or a muscular dystrophy, which would require a different anesthetic management.
