Dangers of anaesthesia in Munchausen's syndrome.

Abstract:

:Patients with Munchausen's syndrome often undergo multiple surgical operations under general anaesthesia. They tend to have multiple exposures to routinely used anaesthetic agents. A patient with Munchausen's syndrome who developed an anaphylactoid reaction to thiopentone is described and the importance of obtaining previous case notes is stressed.
