Abstract

Perioperative hyperthermia has many differential diagnoses. This case report describes the rare causation of perioperative hyperthermia in a patient presenting for epilepsy surgery. The patient had two episodes of hyperthermia, initially post-anesthetic induction and later in the immediate post-operative period. The quest for the etiology sheds light on a rare drug interaction between topiramate, an antiepileptic drug, and glycopyrrolate causing intraoperative hyperthermia. However, the literature has not reported drug interaction between topiramate and glycopyrrolate resulting in perioperative hyperthermia. The combination of a glycopyrrolate-induced rise in temperature and oligohidrosis could have resulted in hyperthermia in our patient. Thus, it is prudent to avoid glycopyrrolate in the perioperative period when patients are on topiramate.

Keywords
