Abstract :
An 18-year old woman admitted for tonsillectomy developed prolonged post-operative paralysis after anaesthesia with mivacurium. Investigation revealed a decreased cholinesterase activity because of a homozygous atypical and heterozygous K variant of the cholinesterase gene. Transfusion of fresh frozen plasma was associated with reversal of the respiratory paralysis and complete recovery. |
