Malignant hyperthermia is a pharmacogenetic disorder that manifests clinically as a hypermetabolic crisis when a patient with a mutation in the ryanodine or dihydropyridine receptor genes is exposed to neuromuscular blocking agents. Depolarizing neuromuscular agents are known to cause malignant hyperthermia, but cases caused by nondepolarizing agents are rarely reported. We present a case consistent with malignant hyperthermia after receipt of cisatracurium, a nondepolarizing anesthetic agent.

Systematically generating differential diagnoses facilitates a clinician's history, physical exam, and clinical evaluation. is an acronym for pathophysiologies to consider in a differential diagnosis: immune reactions and dysregulation, metabolic, psychiatric, allergic, structural, social, infectious, vascular, endocrine/exocrine, degenerative, iatrogenic, congenital, traumatic, autoimmune, toxic, idiopathic, neoplastic, and genetic. We suggest that this mnemonic includes several improvements on previous pathophysiology-based acronyms and have informally validated this new mnemonic with two lists of common diseases.
