    AbstractThe anesthetic technique chosen for a malignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptible patient should include drugs that do not trigger MH, while providing stress-free conditions. This case report describes a MH susceptible patient who was successfully induced and maintained with propofol for third molar extractions while under general anesthesia. Based on this case report, and the other relative few in the literature, it appears unlikely that propofol will trigger an episode of MH. Propofol provides the anesthetist with an alternative for inducing MH susceptible patients, but continued experience is necessary to document its safety and efficacy in these patients.
