    AbstractMalignant hyperthermia (MH) is a latent, autosomal dominant inherited syndrome of skeletal musculature which results in excessive hypermetabolism induced by halogenated anesthetic agents and depolarizing muscle relaxants and is caused by an uncontrolled intramuscular calcium release. This case report focuses on the description of symptoms of a fulminant MH crisis. A possible link between central core disease (CCD) and the clinical severity of MH crisis is postulated in this paper.
