Resumo

A case of sudden fetal stress after accidental administration of ergotamine tartrate (2 mg) suppository is reported. Caesarean section was performed because of unexplained fetal stress. In retrospect, we conclude that it is likely that sudden fetal stress was caused by the severe vasoconstrictive effect of ergotamine. The side effects of ergot derivatives during pregnancy are discussed.
