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.

Furthermore, literature is reviewed assessing the effects of the disease on various physiological systems during the peri-operative period.
