An aborted case of malignant hyperthermia (MH) is presented. It differs from earlier reports of MH in that no hyperpyrexia was allowed to develop, but there was paradoxical response to succinylcholine, skeletal hypertonicity, cardiac alterations of rate and rhythm, tachypnoea, sweating, mild metabolic acidosis and enzyme elevations, most notably of CPK.
