| Abstract: | A violent emergence from deep sedation is an uncommon reaction in the daily practice of anesthesia in the oral and maxillofacial surgery office. We present a case of a 22-yr-old male with a severe violent emergence from deep sedation that we attribute to a psychological rather than a pharmacological cause. A differential diagnosis is discussed, as are methods of treatment. |
