Abstract

Steinert’s disease (SD) is a rare (3-5/100000) myotonic myo pathy responsible for chronic restrictive respiratory insuffi cency and dilatative myocardiopathy.


The authors report the case of a 52 years old female patient with SD who underwent laparoscopic colecystectectomy for cholelithiasis.


Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged after 4 days.


Laparoscopic surgery was effective and safe in the treatment of this pathology.
