Abstract
We report the administration of two anesthetics to a patient potentially at risk for malignant hyperthermia undergoing fetal surgery and an ex utero intrapartum treatment procedure. Management of anesthesia and intraoperative uterine relaxation with i.v. nitroglycerin to avoid volatile anesthetics are discussed.
