Neuromuscular monitoring in patients with cerebral palsy (CP) is technically challenging due to limb contractures and muscle atrophy. We report a case of a 28-year-old male with CP who underwent surgery under general anesthesia. Intraoperative recovery from neuromuscular block was successfully monitored using an electromyography-based neuromuscular monitor. Due to finger deformities, the abductor digiti minimi muscle was selected for monitoring. The onset of rocuronium 0.65 mg/kg was delayed and its duration markedly prolonged. Adequate recovery of neuromuscular function was confirmed with a train-of-four ratio ≥ 0.9, demonstrating the feasibility and clinical utility of TetraGraph in CP patients.
