[Prolonged neurologic deficiency after accidental spinal anesthesia].
A case of severe prolonged neurological deficit following inadvertent spinal anesthesia is presented. Intradural block occurred after a test dose of Bupivacaine and vasoconstrictor when inserting an epidural catheter for post-thoracotomy pain-relief treatment. The likely triggering and etiological factors responsible for the neurological damage after spinal anesthesia were studied and evaluated, mainly those toxic and traumatic. Special mention of the local anesthetics and sodium bisulfite used is made. Preventive measures for this sort of complication are suggested.
