title: [A case of severe bronchospasm under epidural anesthesia with fentanyl].
abstract: A case of severe bronchospasm under epidural anesthesia with fentanyl was described. The etiology of the bronchospasm may not have been related to sympathetic nervous blockade, histamine release, or anaphylaxis. In an asthmatic patient, it should be noted that epidural anesthesia with fentanyl could develop bronchospasm.
