This case report outlines the sequence of events in an intraoperative anaphylactic reaction as the pockets for tissue expanders were being developed. Previous expansion had been carried out uneventfully suggesting previous sensitization. Subsequent testing revealed significant latex allergy. Latex avoidance during repeated tissue expansion is recommended.
