“…It is stated that rigidity is not seen in 20% of acceptable cases (Britt and Kalow, 1970) and even fever may be lacking (Bernardt and Horder, 1978). If a child develops masseter rigidity at the start of general anesthesia and then there is no fever because cooling measures are promptly instituted (Carballo, 1975;Caseby, 1975;Davis, 1977, Donlon et al, 1978Dodd et al, 1981;Inoue et al, 1977;Jago and Payne, 1977;Schmitt et al, 1975), was this an aborted attack of MH or some other kind of reaction to succinylocholine? It is clearthat fullblown attacks of MH may start with masseter spasm and there have been cases of masseter spasm alone or with myoglobinuria but no other manifestations of MH; not all of these patients have "positive" tests for MH-susceptibility (Flewellen and Nelson, 1982).…”

The year is included in the title of this review because the subject is the diversity of conditions that result in myoglobinuria, and new causes keep appearing as conditions in society change or new drugs are introduced. The syndrome is often linked to seamier aspects of society or medicine : war; sadistic drill sergeants; drug abuse; attempted suicide; self-medication or inadequate supervision of drug therapy. On the other hand, study of myoglobinuric syndromes has informed us about new hereditable biochemical causes and we have learned more about the action of viruses on muscle.

Malignant hyperthermia is a potentially fatal complication of general anesthesia that may occur with greater frequency in some patients with ptosis or strabismus. The history of our knowledge of this recently described condition is outlined. The clinical features, pathophysiology, and differential diagnosis are reviewed in detail. A protocol for the treatment of the acute malignant hyperthermia crisis and guidelines for the management of susceptible patients are suggested. The medicolegal implications of the occurrence of such a crisis are discussed.

This survey continues a second series of compilations of data regarding changes in body temperature induced by drugs and related agents. The information listed includes the species used, the route of administration and dose of drug, the environmental temperature at which experiments were performed, the number of tests, the direction and magnitude of change in body temperature and remarks on the presence of special conditions, such as age or brain lesions. Also indicated is the influence of other drugs, such as antagonists, on the response to the primary agent. Most of the papers were published since 1979, but data from many earlier papers are also tabulated.
