A case of sudden death in a young athlete, most likely the result of malignant hyperthermia, is reported. This diagnosis was entertained at autopsy and later confirmed by muscle biopsy on the father of the deceased, who was proven to be susceptible to malignant hyperthermia. The condition should be strongly suspected at autopsy in unexplained sudden deaths of young adults occurring during exercise or under stress.
据报道，一名年轻运动员突然死亡，很可能是恶性高热所致。尸检时考虑到了这一诊断，后来对死者的父亲进行肌肉活检，证实他对恶性高热易感，从而确诊。对于在运动期间或压力下发生的不明原因的年轻成年人猝死，尸检时应高度怀疑这种情况。
