Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a potentially fatal disease triggered by general anaesthesia. Four cases of compartment syndrome complicating MH have been reported. We report here a case of transient talipes equinus deformity of bilateral lower limbs, a condition similar to compartment syndrome, following MH in a previously healthy pediatric patient. MRI revealed high intensity in the bilateral soleus muscles but not in the gastrocnemius muscles. We discuss the possible mechanisms of the deformity of the lower limbs after the MH crisis. |
