Abstract
In recent years, the technique of combined ultrasound and electrical stimulation-guided nerve block has been recommended. We present 2 patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who exhibited different muscle responses to nerve stimulation during the performance of peripheral nerve blocks for surgeries. Whereas a 2-year-old boy without severe disability showed the expected muscle contraction to electrical nerve stimulation, a 14-year-old boy with severe disability showed no muscle response. Our experience suggests that muscle responses to electrical nerve stimulation will vary with the stage of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
