Abstract
Adrenal Crisis after surgical procedure is a rare but potentially catastrophic life-threatening event. Its manifestations, such as hypotension, hypoglycaemia, tachycardia, hypoxia, and fever mimic the other more common post-operative complications. Clinical outcome is dependent on the early recognition of symptoms.
