We report the case of a 62-year-old man who experienced intraoperative anaphylaxis following intravenous morphine administration during head and neck surgery. Immediate resuscitation was successful, and subsequent allergy workup demonstrated a positive skin prick test to morphine. This case underscores the diagnostic complexity of perioperative anaphylaxis and emphasizes the critical role of guideline-directed allergy evaluation in identifying the offending agent and ensuring safe future anesthetic management.
