Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare, life-threatening reaction to certain anesthetic agents, particularly volatile anesthetics and succinylcholine. It causes rapid hypermetabolism, muscle rigidity, hypercapnia, and high fever. Prompt treatment with dantrolene and supportive care is essential to reduce morbidity and mortality.
