Kennedy's disease (KD), also known as spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), is a rare, X-linked recessive androgen receptor gene mutation affecting approximately one in 40,000 males. A prominent anesthetic concern in patients with KD is their ability to maintain a patent airway following general anesthesia. We present the case of a 61-year-old man with a history of KD presenting for a left thigh sarcoma excision. The patient received a general anesthetic with endotracheal tube placement, was extubated in the operating room upon completion of the surgery, and had an uneventful post-operative course.
肯尼迪病（KD），又称脊髓延髓肌肉萎缩症（SBMA），是一种罕见的X连锁隐性雄激素受体基因突变疾病，约每40000名男性中就有1人患病。KD患者一个突出的麻醉问题是全身麻醉后维持气道通畅的能力。我们报告一例61岁有KD病史的男性患者，因左大腿肉瘤切除术前来就诊。患者接受了气管插管全身麻醉，手术结束后在手术室拔管，术后过程顺利。
