In a study, we present the case of a 33-year-old obese patient with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) admitted for cesarean section. The patient was successfully managed by emergency caesarean section under spinal anesthesia. On physical examination after the operation, the force of the upper and lower extremity muscles were estimated to be 4/5 and 3/5, respectively. In this case, instead of epidural anesthesia we used spinal anesthesia, which is a safe technique recommended for emergency cesarean section in pregnant LGMD patients.
