Publication: Abducens nerve paralysis following spinal anesthesia
Abstract
Spinal anestezinin komplikasyonları arasında 6. sinir paralizisi ender görülmektedir. Sinirin ekstrakraniyal uzun seyri nedeniyle subaraknoid enjeksiyonlar sırasında hasarlanma ihtimali bulunmaktadır. Sıklıkla 4. günden sonra ortaya çıkan semptomlar oküler kas paralizisi sonucunda belirmektedir ve haftalar ila aylar içerisinde spontan olarak gerilemektedir. Double j üreter kateterizasyonu operasyonu için spinal anestezi uygulanan ve ardından abdusens sinir paralizisi gelişen olgumuzu sunmaktayız
Among the complications of spinal anaesthesia, 6th cranial nerve palsy occurs rarely. There is a possibility of encountering nerve injury during subarachnoid injections due to a long extracranial course. The symptoms appear as a result of ocular muscle paralysis. These symptoms often begin after the 4th day and spontaneous recovery lasts for weeks to months. We present a case in which Nervous Abducens palsy occurred following spinal anaesthesia for double j ureteral catheter placement surgery.
