title: 'Spontaneous' hypertensive episodes with monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
abstract: Hypertensive reactions occurred without obvious cause in two patients receiving monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) while being monitored in a hospital. These patients appear to have experienced "spontaneous" hypertensive episodes temporally related to the ingestion of the MAOIs. Similar occurrences in outpatients reported in the literature are reviewed.
