We describe a case of an 11 month- old boy suspected to have King- Denborough syndrome. He had multiple congenital anomalies and one of which is an inguinal hernia. Since such patients are predisposed to developing malignant hyperthermia, we did the repair of the inguinal hernia under spinal anesthesia.
