Abstract:
Severe anaphylaxis is an acute allergic reaction that can be life-threatening if not managed rapidly. Its clinical manifestations are diverse, typically including hypotension, respiratory failure, and skin manifestations. However, seizures are an uncommon presentation and may easily be overlooked. We report a case of severe anaphylaxis following intrathecal injection of a contrast agent used in the evaluation of brachial plexus injuries. The initial manifestations were seizures and hypotension, occurring 15 min after injection. The patient survived following appropriate treatment and was subsequently discharged.

Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia
Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...
Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...
