Anaesthetic management of a child with a positive family history of malignant hyperthermia for posterior fossa surgery in the sitting position.

Abstract excerpt

A 6-year-old boy with a positive family history of malignant hyperthermia presented for posterior fossa craniectomy and excision of medulloblastoma. A nontriggering anaesthetic was therefore planned using infusions of propofol and remifentanil and a vapour free anaesthetic system delivering an oxygen/air mixture. The surgery was carried out with the child in the sitting position.
