title: [Anesthetic managements of a patient with multiple sclerosis using propofol].
abstract: We experienced anesthetic management of a 45-yr-old female patient with a 12-yr history of multiple sclerosis who underwent orthopedic surgeries three times under general anesthesia. We chose rapid induction with propofol and maintained the anesthesia with nitrous oxide, oxygen, and sevoflurane. We monitored both core and peripheral temperatures to avoid the rapid increase of core temperature, which might worsen the symptoms of the disease. There is no other report of anesthesia using propofol as induction agent for a patient with multiple sclerosis. We succeeded in the satisfactory perioperative management of the patient.
