isoflurane and Fasciculation

isoflurane has been researched along with Fasciculation in 3 studies

Isoflurane: A stable, non-explosive inhalation anesthetic, relatively free from significant side effects.

Fasciculation: Involuntary contraction of the muscle fibers innervated by a motor unit. Fasciculations may be visualized as a muscle twitch or dimpling under the skin, but usually do not generate sufficient force to move a limb. They may represent a benign condition or occur as a manifestation of MOTOR NEURON DISEASE or PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1294)
