A healthy young woman underwent arthroscopy of the right knee, for which she was given an enflurane anaesthetic. The anaesthetic was uneventful, but she started to show myoclonic jerky movements involving multiple muscle groups, except those innervated by the cranial nerves, while recovering from the anaesthetic. These jerky movements settled to the left side of her body. It was also associated with significant right frontal and retro-orbital headache. Serial neurological assessments were entirely negative. These symptoms took more than 48 hours to disappear. She recovered from this anaesthetic complication completely. An anaesthetic complication of this nature and duration has not been reported before in association with enflurane.
一名健康的年轻女性接受了右膝关节镜检查，为此她接受了恩氟烷麻醉。麻醉过程顺利，但在从麻醉中恢复时，她开始出现涉及多个肌肉群的肌阵挛性抽搐运动，除了那些由颅神经支配的肌肉群。这些抽搐运动集中在她身体的左侧。同时还伴有严重的右侧额部和眶后头痛。一系列神经系统评估结果均为阴性。这些症状持续了48小时以上才消失。她完全从这种麻醉并发症中康复。此前尚未有与恩氟烷相关的这种性质和持续时间的麻醉并发症的报道。
