Abstract

The rarity of Huntington’s disease (HD) parturients implies that anesthesiologists have little exposure to the management of these patients. We explore techniques for the management of a 21-year-old parturient with symptomatic HD who underwent successful neuraxial anesthesia for labor and subsequent cesarean delivery. We provide guidance on perioperative medications for comorbidities associated with HD. Dexmedetomidine, which we administered neuraxially, appears to have significant potential for the perioperative diminution of choreiform movements. Current anesthetic management of HD cannot be informed by traditional research methodology and therefore much information must be gleaned from the limited available case reports.
