Abstract:
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive genetic disorder caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene, classified as a rare congenital muscular disease. Its clinical features include progressive skeletal muscle weakness, often involving respiratory and cardiac muscles, and frequently associated with spinal deformities. This paper reports the diagnosis, perioperative management, and follow-up of a case of DMD with multisystem involvement and severe scoliosis, aiming to provide a reference for clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of such diseases.
