[The use of propofol in a female patient predisposed to malignant hyperthermia (central core disease)].
In this paper the Authors describe the anesthetic techniques used for abdominal surgery in a 19 year-old woman with "central-core disease". This uncommon congenital neuromuscular disorder is frequently related to malignant hyperthermia syndrome. Total intravenous anesthesia with the association propofol-fentanyl was well tolerated by the patient. There was no evidence of malignant hyperthermia during the procedure and cardiovascular stability was excellent.
