Abstract

Stiff-person syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by muscle rigidity and episodic spasms. In this report, we present a case of stiff-person syndrome that underwent successful general anesthesia. According to our experience, we concluded that propofol, fentanyl and atracurium should be preferred in these patients during anesthesia.

Keywords: Stiff-person syndrome, general anesthesia
