Abstract:
Despite the high incidence of subdural block (SDB) during epidural anesthesia, the condition is unfamiliar to anesthesiologist. We experienced a case of SDB: severe hypotension, transient hemiplegia, wide extent of block and late onset and recovery from block. The case described is an examples of SDB and should remind anesthesiologist of the clinical course and treatment.
