Peripheral neuropathy is a well-described side effect of certain chemotherapeutic agents, including taxanes, and often improves in the weeks following treatment. The recurrence of motor and sensory neuropathies after anaesthesia has not yet been described to our knowledge. We present a case of transient recurrence of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy following general anaesthesia. Although an exact mechanism has not yet been described and is likely multifactorial in nature, anaesthetists should be prepared to address this phenomenon in the growing population of patients on chemotherapeutic agents.
