Abstract:
Lumbar spinal or epidural anaesthesia has a lower complication rate compared to general anaesthesia. An occasional patient may develop spinal cord injury during the procedure and develop neurological complications. We report an interesting case of paraparesis due to dorsal spinal cord involvement and syrinx formation following spinal anaesthesia for abdominal surgery.
