Dantrolene Sodium: A Need of the Day at Tertiary Centre.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) a rare genetic disorder is often associated with congenital disorders which are not diagnosed preoperatively. The incidence of MH being very low is still potentially a fatal disorder in anesthesia practice. Mortality still remains high despite its complex and demanding management. Reporting of MH and MH-like syndrome when treated timely with Dantrolene Sodium drastically decreses the mortality of the patients. This report describes a case of congenital cleft lip in a patient of 5 years with no any other congenital anomaly associated with it. Presented as MH like syndrome in post-operative period, which was diagnosed promptly and managed by Dantrolene sodium. We present this case report to emphasize the availability of DS at tertiary centers and at specialized centers where such surgeries are conducted routinely.
