Abstract |
Subarachnoid block with local anaesthetic agent and opiod as an adjuvant is a well-known technique with a good record of safety. However, some rare neurological complications like aphonia, dysphagia and tingling sensation have been reported following their administration in pregnant females posted for labour analgesia or caesarean section. We report a case of transient aphonia, aphagia and facial tingling following intrathecal administration of bupivacaine along with fentanyl for lower limb wound debridement in a male patient.
