Abstract
Succinylcholine is a commonly used depolarizing muscle relaxant in general endotracheal anesthesia. The degradation of succinylcholine is accomplished by the human serum based enzyme pseudocholinesterase. Availability of pseudocholinesterase within the human being can be deficient as a result of an inherited or acquired cause. This case report will describe a female patient who was diagnosed with an acquired pseudocholinesterase deficiency.
