| Core Tip |
Mitochondrial myopathies typically present with chronic muscle weakness, and acute respiratory dysfunction is an uncommon symptom. We report the case of a 34-year-old woman who experienced postoperative hypoventilation after undergoing an uneventful administration of general anesthesia. Reports on mitochondrial myopathy-related respiratory failure in adults are limited. In this case, the patient did not exhibit typical signs and symptoms of mitochondrial myopathy and remained asymptomatic until she was exposed to a general anestheic. Mitochondrial myopathy should be considered in the differential diagnosis of postoperative respiratory failure, and the diagnosis should be confirmed with a muscle biopsy. |
