Hypersensitivity reactions remain a major problem in the perioperative period. These reactions are rapid onset and start within seconds to minutes of exposure to the allergen. Symptoms progress rapidly and can affect most organ systems. Anesthesiologists use a variety of drugs during provision of an anesthetic and may be involved in risk of hyperseneitivity reactions. We report a case of anaphylaxis which is developed in discectomy during general anesthesia. Anaphylaxis is a potentially life-threating reaction the requires immediate treatment including epinephrine as a first choice vasopressor.
