title: [Malignant hyperthermia in ophthalmologic surgery].
abstract: Malignant hyperthermia is a potentially fatal complication of general anesthesia that may occur with greater frequency in ptosis and strabismus surgery. The case of a two-year-old girl who suffered a malignant hyperthermia crisis during strabismus surgery is reported. The pathophysiology, clinical features, treatment and pre-anesthetic diagnosis are reviewed in detail.
