Post-Operative Malignant Hyperthermia Complicated by Rhabdomyolysis: Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare but fatal complication that develops under general anesthesia. Particularly, reports of postoperative MH are rare. This report describes the very rare case of a 29-year-old woman with neurological impairment complicated by rhabdomyolysis due to postoperative MH with an onset 30 hours after laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication and open gastrostomy, and the successful medical treatment of MH. We review the literature on this type of relationship between postoperative MH and neurological impairment, and discuss the clinical features of this complication. Furthermore, the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of rhabdmyolysis caused by postoperative MH was explored.

Malignant hyperthermia is a hypermetabolic response to inhalation agents (such as halothane, sevoflurane, and desflurane), succinylcholine, vigorous exercise, and heat. Reactions develop more frequently in males than females (2 : 1). The classical signs of malignant hyperthermia are hyperthermia, tachycardia, tachypnea, increased carbon dioxide production, increased oxygen consumption, acidosis...

We report a case of severe neuroleptic malignant syndrome with hyperthermia, rhabdomyolysis and hepatic failure where we applied endovascular cooling in order to reverse hyperthermia. After rapid normalization of core temperature at 37.5 degrees C, the patient's condition improved and CK levels dropped. However, upon withdrawl of endovascular temperature control there was a relapse. This is the...
