Abstract
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a muscular dystrophy that can affect individuals of all age groups. Its prevalence is reported to be 0.4-1 in 10,000 people. Because of the low occurrence of FSHD, anaesthetic management is primarily based on expert opinions, case reviews, or brief series. Here, we present the case of a 72-year-old woman with FSHD who underwent hip fracture (HF) surgery. To prevent respiratory compromise due to FSHD, we opted for lumbar-sacral plexus block. To the best of our knowledge, there is no information in the literature regarding the use of combined lumbar-sacral plexus block in patients with FSHD undergoing HF surgery.
