[Sacroiliac joint blockage caused by bedding after spinal anaesthesia can simulate a neurological complication].
Back pain after spinal anaesthesia is often attributed to the spinal anaesthesia and the accompanying puncture. We demonstrate two cases where this problem was not caused by spinal anaesthesia but was due to sacroiliac joint blockage caused by bedding. As far as we know, this complication has not been described yet. When taken into account, it can be treated easily and with success.
