Abstract

Blockade of interscalene brachial plexus has been used to provide anesthesia and analgesia for all types of surgery of the upper extremity and shoulder. Several serious complications such as spinal, epidural and subdural anesthesia have been described as a result of interscalene brachial plexus block. This case report describes a subdural block complication, developed after attempted posterior approach brachial plexus blockade for analgesia of the shoulder, upper arm and axillary region in a patient undergoing segmental mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection with general anesthesia.

Özet

İnterskalen brakiyal pleksus bloğu omuz ve üst ekstremite cerrahisinin tüm tiplerinde anestezi ve analjezi sağlaması amaçlı kullanılmıştır. İnterskalen brakial pleksus bloğu uygulaması sonucu spinal, epidural ve subdural anestezi gibi ciddi komplikasyonlar tanımlanmıştır. Bu olgu sunumu, genel anestezi ile segmental mastektomi ve aksiller lenf nodu diseksiyonu uygulanan hastada omuz, üst kol ve aksiller bölge analjezisi amaçlı posterior yaklaşımla brakiyal pleksus uygulaması sonrası gelişen subdural blok komplikasyonudur.
