[Exercise-induced malignant hyperthermia in a patient with familial ichthyosis vulgaris. Muscular carnitine deficiency as contributing factor (author's transl)].

Ichythyosis was considered as a predisposing factor, but the finding of a low muscular carnitine level raises the problem of a relationship between exercised-induced malignant hyperthermia and lipid metabolism disorders.
