Sometimes typical clinical picture of anaphylaxis may not be manifested producing the scenario complicated and if not timely intervened, may be lethal. Propofol (2, 6 di-isopropyl phenol) is commonly used as induction agent in modern anesthesia practice and its anaphylactic incidences being reported1. Here we report a case of Propofol anaphylaxis who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) didn’t show typical features of anaphylaxis and timely resuscitation lead to complete recovery.
