Abstract
The purpose of this article is to consider undiagnosed hypothyroidism as a possible cause of delayed emergence from anaesthesia in a obese patient. We report about a patient who underwent elective surgery with general anaesthesia. Intraoperative events and post operative delayed emergence led us to suspect undiagnosed hypothyroidism which was confirmed postoperatively by low serum thyroxine levels.
