Abstract

Paralysis of cranial nerves is a very rare complication of lumbar puncture performed for anesthetic and diagnostic purposes, however sixth cranial nevre is most commonly affected because of its long intracranial course. In this report a case of sixth cranial nevre palsy developing after spinal anesthesia and resolving spontaneously after a follow up period of 9 weeks is presented, and management of this very rare complication is reviewed.

Özet

Kraniyal sinirlerin paralizisi, anestezi ve tanı amaçlı uygulanan lomber ponksiyon sonrasında çok nadir görülen bir komplikasyondur, ancak 6. kraniyal sinir uzun kafa içi seyir trasesinden dolayı daha sık etkilenmektedir. Bu yazıda spinal anestezi sonrası ortaya çıkan ve 9 haftalık takip süresi sonunda kendiliğinden düzelen 6. kraniyal sinir paralizili bir olgu sunulmuş ve bu çok nadir görülen komplikasyona yaklaşım gözden geçirilmiştir.
