Abstract
We report the occurrence of severe phantom limb pain during labour. The patient, a 27-year-old, had had an above knee amputation performed 6 years earlier following a road traffic accident but had no previous history of phantom limb phenomena. However, during early labour, she complained of a severe phantom limb pain in her amputated leg; a continuous epidural block relieved her of the sensation and pain. The sensation did not return following delivery.
