Abstract
A 55 year old male, operated for a frontal glioma presented in the post operative recovery unit with acute pain and bluish purple discoloration of right hand due to administration of intra-arterial injection of phenytoin in the premedication room 1 hour prior to surgery. The patient was kept on conservative management but ultimately developed gangrene of the limb for which amputation had to be undertaken.
