We report a patient who developed cardiac asystole, which may have been caused by Bezold-Jarisch reflex as a result of hypovolemia and compression of the inferior vena cava by a huge pyometra. A 61-year-old woman with a huge pyometra with occasional supine hypotension, tachycardia, and oliguria was scheduled for removal of the tumor. The systolic blood pressure decreased from 80 mmHg to 55 mmHg with simultaneous development of bradycardia 5 minutes after incision of the abdominal wall. Atropine was given but cardiac asystole occurred. Intravenous epinephrine restored systemic blood pressure and heart beats. There was no postoperative cardiorespiratory complication.
