Abstract

Abstract Subarachnoid haematoma after spinal anaesthesia is known to be very rare. In the majority of these cases, spinal anaesthesia was difficult to perform and/or unsuccessful; other risk factors included antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapy, and direct spinal cord trauma. We report a case of subarachnoid haematoma after spinal anaesthesia in a young patient without risk factors.

Keywords

Resumo

Resumo Hematoma subaracnoideo após anestesia espinal é conhecido por ser muito raro. Na maioria desses casos, a anestesia espinal foi difícil de executar e/ou malsucedida; outros fatores de risco incluem terapia anticoagulante ou antiplaquetária e trauma medular direto. Relatamos um caso de hematoma subaracnoideo após raquianestesia em paciente jovem sem fatores de risco.
