Encountering patients who present with rare conditions is daunting considering the scarcity of published recommendations. Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) Disease is a rare neuromuscular disorder. We review a case of strongly suspected CMT disease in a patient presenting for hip surgery and assess the clinical course and successful treatment outcome following neuraxial anesthesia and sedation. Furthermore, literature is reviewed assessing the effects of the disease on various physiological systems during the peri-operative period.
