    Abstract:
    A 5 year-old boy with myotonic dystrophy was anesthetized with isoflurane for bilateral orchiopexy. Intubation was easily done without muscle relaxants, following slow induction using isoflurane, nitrous oxide and oxygen. Myotonia was not observed perioperatively and postoperative course was uneventful. It is concluded that isoflurane is an anesthetic of choice for a patient with myotonic dystrophy.
