Abstract

A 73-year-old male patient, a recent history of diabetes, the patient had an enlarged prostate gland, he had tumor resected under spinal anesthesia. After surgery, the patient had symptoms of numbness, weakness, severe pain on both sides of the legs. The patient was diagnosed with radiculopathy, not excluding the transient neurologic syndrome after spinal anaesthesia. After ruling out all causes requiring mechanical ventilation or surgical intervention, the patient was treated with steroid, lyrica, and pain killer. All symptoms subsided and recovered almost completely after 1 month. Anesthesiologists need to know the syndromes, disorders after spinal anesthesia, especially acute neurological disorders that must be early diagnosed and treated immediately. Another case, it need to have different diagnosis so to give a treatment strategy and also explanation for the patient.
