Abstract
Conversion disorder (CD) is a rare complication after general anesthesia and can be presented with sensory and or motor deficits. The organic or metabolic cause should be excluded first before considering CD diagnosis. A 62-year-old female was admitted to the high-dependency unit with quadriplegia and disturbed level of consciousness secondary to CD upon emergence from general anesthesia.
