[Malignant hyperthermia--complication of general anesthesia in the clinic of maxillofacial surgery].

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare genetic disease that manifests itself more frequently in the use of general anesthetics that are triggers of MH and results in death when specific treatment is not performed. The authors have observed a case of MH during anesthesia at maxillofacial surgery. The patient could not be saved irrespective of the attempts being made.
