Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Leiden University Medical Center, The Netherlands.

We observed a patient who had a severe anaphylactic reaction 1 hour after HSG. Allergic symptoms recurred several hours after antiallergic therapy was stopped. The initial complaints of pain and vomiting could have been due to peritoneal irritation or alternatively to an early anaphylactic reaction. Patients who are at risk should be carefully evaluated before performing HSG. These patients and those with complaints after HSG should stay under observation for 1 or 2 hours after HSG.
