Centronuclear myopathy (CNM) is an inherited condition involving most muscle fibres in all the body mass, first described in 1966, which has a varying spectrum of presentations. Until recently it had not been associated with an increased risk of malignant hyperpyrexia. A seven-year-old male with CNM was admitted to our hospital for elective surgery. High dose propofol anaesthesia was used, supplemented with N2O/O2 from a new anaesthesia machine. The operation was successful with uncomplicated anaesthesia and recovery.
