Epidural fentanyl and monoamine oxidase inhibitors

The successful use of continuous epidural fentanyl infusion to control postoperative pain in a patient treated with monoamine oxidase inhibitors is described. The use of epidural opioids may be a safe technique for the management of such patients.
