ANAESTHETIC DEATHS IN A FAMILY

M. A. DENBOROUGH, J. F. A. FORSTER, R. R. H. LOVELL, P. A. MAPLESTONE and J. D. VILLIERS

Royal Melbourne Hospital and Royal Women's Hospital Melbourne, Australia

A local family is described in which there have been ten deaths attributable to general anaesthesia.

The pattern of inheritance of the abnormality is compatible with that due to an incompletely penetrant dominant gene or genes.

Spinal anaesthesia produced no ill effects when used in the one member of the family who survived a reaction following a general anaesthetic.
