Autonomic hyperreflexia is a serious complication for paraplegic patients. A paraplegic woman in early labor presented with autonomic hyperreflexia. After epidural analgesia was established, hyperreflexia resolved. When the analgesic wore off, hyperreflexia returned. Continuous epidural analgesia may be helpful for pregnant women who are susceptible to autonomic hyperreflexia.URL
