Dural ectasia: a likely cause of inadequate spinal anaesthesia in two parturients with Marfan's syndrome.

چکیده
We report two cases of Caesarean section in patients with Marfan's syndrome where continuous subarachnoid anaesthesia failed to provide an adequate surgical block. This was possibly because of dural ectasia, which was confirmed by a computed tomography scan in both cases.

Very few cases have been described being a consequence of a previous spine surgical procedure. We describe the case of an elderly patient who should be operated on twice due to sub-occlusive colon disease. Surgery was performed under spinal anaesthesia. A dural sac ec...

In the spinal deformities of NF-1 patients, despite the sco...
متن کاملLoss of resistance to saline reduces responses accompanying spinal needle insertion during institution of 'needle-through-needle' combined spinal-epidural analgesia.
Normal saline or air is used to identify loss of resistance during identification of the epidural space for combined spinal-epidural analgesia. Following epidural needle placement using air for loss of resistance, up to 80% of parturients move, grimace, vocalise or experience paraesthesia or dysaesthesia during subsequent dural puncture by a spinal needle. We compared the effects of saline vers...
