Abstract

Paralysis of abducens nerve is a very rare revers›ble complication of lumbar puncture, which is a common procedure most often used for diagnostic and anesthetic purposes. The incidence of postdural puncture headache and paralysis of abducens nerve is related with younger age, female gender, and the diameter and shape of the needle used, and also with multiple insertions of the needle into the subarachnoid space. Traction on the sixth cranial nerve due to cerebrospinal fluid leak leads to lateral rectus muscle palsy. Alternative types of anesthesia or performing spinal anesthesia using smaller diameter or atraumatic spinal needles may help to decrease the incidence of abducens palsy. We aimed to present a case of 6th nerve paralysis after spinal anaesthesia in a geriatric patient who was not in the risk group.

Özet

Altıncı sinir paralizisi, diyagnostik amaçla ya da anestezi sağlamak için spinal aralığa girişim yapılması sonucunda nadiren görülen reversibl bir komplikasyondur. Postspinal başağrısı ve 6. kranial sinirde paralizi gelişme insidansı, genç yaş, kadın cinsiyet, kullanılan spinal iğnenin şekli, çapı ve multiple girişim yapılması ile direkt bağlantılıdır. 6. sinir paralizisi beyin omirilik sıvısı (BOS) sızıntısına bağlı sinir traksiyonu ve lateral rektus kasında paralizi gelişmesi sonucu ortaya çıkar. Küçük çaplı ya da atravmatik spinal iğnelerle spinal anestezi uygulanması ya da diğer anestezi yöntemlerinin kullanılması ile abdusens paralizisi insidansı azaltılabilir. Bu olguda risk grubunda olmayan geriatrik bir hastada spinal anestezi sonrasında gelişen 6. sinir paralizisini sunmayı amaçladık.
