Abstract

We report a case of stiff-person syndrome (SPS). A 65-year-old male underwent an emergency pacemaker implantation for syncope. With lidocaine infiltration under fentanyl and propofol sedation, the operation was completed without complications. Muscle rigidity and spasms are exacerbated by sensory and emotional stimuli in SPS. However, the present case suggests that regional anesthesia is also acceptable under adequate sedation.
