“…Usually, the first signs of MH are tachycardia and an increase in PETCO 2 . Hyperthermia is considered as late sign 16 . As compared with the other case reports, our patient's PETCO 2 had increased within 2 minutes after anesthetic induction with sevoflurane and succinylcholine.…”

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare pharmacogenic disorder of skeletal muscle calcium regulation, resulting from general anesthesia that can be fatal. Most cases are caused by administration of volatile anesthetics or depolarizing muscle relaxants. It has been generally reported that both of sevoflurane and succinylcholine can induce the delayed onset of MH. Here, we report a case of malignant hyperthermia in a four-year-old girl during anesthesia induction for unilateral congenital ptosis surgery, two minutes after sevoflurane and succinylcholine administration. The crisis was atypical but early recognized and managed by administration of dantrolene with symptomatic treatment.

“…Jonassen et al [ 10 ] reported that MH emerged about 20 minutes after anesthetic induction with sevoflurane in a 56-year-old man who was undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass and moderate hypothermia. Cheong et al [ 11 ] reported that MH emerged about 150 minutes after general anesthesia with sevoflurane in a 24-year-old man who was undergoing bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy.…”

We experienced a case of malignant hyperthermia (MH) in 6-year-old boy during anesthesia induction for strabismus surgery. It has been generally reported that sevoflurane can induce the delayed onset of MH in the absence of succinylcholine. Our case of MH was elicited after about 2-3 min of sevoflurane administration with N2O, O2 and rocuronium. However, we successfully treated the patient by early recognition of his condition and administering symptomatic treatment and dantrolene.
