Objective:
To report a case of TURP syndrome and emphasize the importance of early diagnosis.
Methods:
A case of reabsorption syndrome in a patient that underwent transurethral resection under spinal anesthesia is presented.
Results:
Reabsorption syndrome (TURP syndrome) is manifested by neurological and hemodynamic changes resulting from absorption of irrigating fluid used during transurethral resection of the prostate. This complication presented in a patient undergoing elective surgery and with no additional risk factors.
Conclusions:
Since it is impossible to prevent this complication of TUR, spinal anesthesia should be utilized whenever possible because it permits early detection before important complications develop.
