Three months later, the appearance of an ascending sensory level despite motor recovery raised the prssibilite of another lesion causing the new neurologic symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed arachnoiditis with subarachnoid cysts that severely compressed the thoracic spinal cord. Surgical decompression relieved the neurologic symptoms at first, but the symptoms soon deteriorated due to re-formation of adhesions and probably intrinsic cord damage. Based on our experience, carefully history taking and detailed examination should be emphasized in patients with neurologic symptoms after epidural anesthesia. |
