ABSTRACT

Introduction: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a group of hereditary peripheral neuropathies with high prevalence that cause distal damage with atrophy and deformities. The use of regional anesthesia has been restricted due to the fear of causing permanent neurological damage or aggravating existing nerve injury. Case report: we present a case of a brachial plexus block performed in a patient with Charcot-Marie-Tooth with no later neurological complications. Conclusion: assessing their use in each case, regional techniques may be an appropriate anesthesia option in Charcot-Marie-Tooth patients, although more case report publications are necessary.
