The case is here presented of a 37-year old female with obstetric complaints who underwent surgery for dermoid cysts and developed sudden shock during recovery from general anesthesia. The aim of this case presentation was to share the importance of premedication when it was thought to be related to stress in the etiopathogenesis and the management of this Takotsubo (TC) case, which started with clinical sudden onset of a shock table during recovery from general anesthesia following surgery. In cases of suddenly developing shock, TC must be considered in the differential diagnosis.
Key words: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, general anesthesia, stress
