Abstract:
:Any convulsion during labour requires immediate action, but before this can occur a correct diagnosis must be made. Here we describe a case where a 'fit' was wrongly attributed to epidural analgesia. This was in fact a dystonic reaction secondary to undeclared self-medication with metoclopramide. It is therefore important to ensure that a full drug history is obtained from all patients to exclude a drug interaction or side-effect when faced with unusual and potentially serious complications of drug therapy.
