We describe a 51-year-old patient undergoing a second neurosurgical procedure after being prescribed anticonvulsant therapy. The patient had significant changes in the duration of action of identical doses of nondepolarizing muscle relaxants and we were able to compare the duration of action of neuromuscular blockers before and after the chronic administration of anticonvulsant therapy. A brief review of the possible mechanisms of action of the acceleration of the patient's recovery profile is also presented.
