Abstract
Malignant hyperpyrexia developed, and was successfully treated, in a 50-year old man undergoing pyelolithotomy. Early diagnosis with the assistance of end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring facilitated prompt treatment with i.v. dantrolene. A positive muscle biopsy subsequently confirmed the diagnosis. The only likely triggering agent used was isoflurane.Entities:
