Spinal anesthesia may cause backache and leg weakness, especially in patients with prior lumbar disc disease. This case suggests anesthesia-induced changes, not disc protrusion, caused the symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Spinal anesthesia is commonly used for lower extremity surgeries.
  • Patient history is crucial for identifying potential risks and complications.

Observation:

  • A 50-year-old male developed backache and lower extremity paresis post-spinal anesthesia.
  • Symptoms initially improved with NSAIDs but recurred with increased severity.
  • Patient had a history of lumbar disc disease, unreported preoperatively.

Findings:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) ruled out lumbar disc protrusion.
  • Degenerative disease of the L5-S1 disc was identified.
  • Spinal anesthesia likely exacerbated symptoms by reducing lumbar lordosis, causing spinal capsule and tendon distension.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of thorough preoperative patient evaluation.
  • Suggests spinal anesthesia may precipitate neurological symptoms in predisposed individuals.
  • Underscores the diagnostic value of MRI in differentiating causes of postoperative neurological deficits.
