AbstractPublished guidelines exist for the management and investigation of suspected anaphylactic reactions associated with anaesthesia. We report a woman who had a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction during caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia, complicated by undiagnosed placenta accreta. We discuss the particular problems of the case and the practical difficulties of testing survivors of anaphylaxis: despite following the recommendations, we have been unable to identify the cause.
