Abstract
Two cases of abnormal response to muscle relaxants in patients with von Recklinghausen's disease are reported and the literature is reviewed. A 31 year-old female showed high sensitivity to both suxamethonium and tubocurarine, and 57 year-old male showed also high sensitivity to tubocurarine. Anaesthetic problems which might be encountered in patients with von Recklinghausen's disease are concomitant phaeochromocytoma, renal hypertension, kyphoscoliosis, deformity of the spine, and intralaryngeal neurofibroma.
