Prolonged Duration of Peripheral Nerve Blockade in a Pediatric Patient with Charcot Marie Tooth Disease: A Case Report.
Charcot Marie Tooth disease is a common cause of pediatric peripheral neuropathy, which can lead to distal muscle wasting and weakness necessitating orthopedic procedures. We present an eleven-year-old male with Charcot Marie Tooth disease who received peripheral nerve blocks for ankle surgery, with a total dose of 1.75 mg/kg of bupivacaine 0.25%. Upon follow-up, it was identified that the sensory blockade did not resolve until thirty-six hours, postoperatively. There were no noted long-term sequalae on surgical follow-up. If a patient with Charcot Marie Tooth receives a peripheral nerve block, the patient should receive close short- and long-term follow-up to monitor for block complication or disease exacerbation.
