Abstract
We encountered a case of malignant hyperthermia (MH) in a 3-year-old boy during general anesthesia induction for laparotomy. 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 90 mins of sevoflurane administration with 50/50% Air/O2 mixture. However the patient was successfully treated by early recognition of his condition and supportive treatment.
