title: Anaesthesia for an unusual carcinoid metastasis.
abstract: The intra-operative course of a patient found to have a metastatic serotonin-secreting carcinoid tumour in the orbit is reported. No prophylactic or intra-operative therapy was necessary during the administration of enflurane anesthesia. This case demonstrates again the wide spectrum of clinical responses observed among patients with this disease.
