    AbstractAn acute episode of a malignant hyperthermia-like syndrome is described which occurred after suxamethonium and isoflurane anaesthesia in a 41-year-old healthy male patient undergoing a minor elective hand operation. Dantrolene therapy rapidly reversed the life-threatening signs. Laboratory results appeared to confirm the suspicion of malignant hyperthermia. However, the in vitro contracture test, which was carried out according to the standards of the European Malignant Hyperthermia Group, was equivocal.
