Abstract

Neurologic Sequelae after spinal anesthesia are extrenely rare, due in part to use of prepackaged and sterile kits and the small doses of local anesthectics employed. We have experienced 42 years old healthy male developed cental nervous system toxicity due to injection of wrong substance into subarachnoid space. And the patient recovered 3 days later with mild pulmonary edema and about 72 hour anterograde amnesia after symptomatic treatment.
