Özet
A 19 year old patient was diagnosed with testicular feminization. She was scheduled to undergo bilateral inguinal gonadectomy. All the preoperative laboratory tests were found to be normal except the elevated plasma testosterone and low plasma estrogen levels. In the operating room, the patient was intubated after following standard monitorization. Full return of train-of-four-twitches were observed at approximately five minutes after the surgical incisions. The total dose of vecuronium given over 90 minutes was 22 mg until the end of the operation. An investigation after the operation identified that the patients sister also had a similar operation a year earlier and high doses of vecuronium was used. The possible causes were carefully assessed, this case and her sister confirmed a possible interaction between vecuronium and testosterone.
