A Case of S1 Rediculopathy after Epidural Anesthesia
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Spinal epidural anesthesia is safe and simple method, thus used widely, and successfully in anesthetic field. Neurological complication after epidural anesthesia is very rare.
We experienced a case of unilateral S1 radiculopathy immediately after epidural anesthesia with characteristic electrodiagnostic findings.
A review of previously reported cases show that S1 radiculopathy after epidural anesthesia or lumbar punture is absent.
The pathogenesis of S1 radiculopathy as a complication of epidural anesthesia in this case is probably related to that of direct trauma or local anesthetic anesthetic toxicity to unilateral S1 nerve root.
