GONZALEZ M, Claudia E; ENRIQUEZ, Luis E  e  CRUZ A, Camilo. Arachnoiditis Following Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Section. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2012, vol.40, n.2, pp.150-152. ISSN 0120-3347.  https://doi.org/10.1016/S0120-3347(12)70031-X.

We report a case of arachnoiditis following subarachnoidal anesthesia for Cesarean section, with paraparesis, lumbar pain and arterial hypertension. The patient was diagnosed with arachnoidits on the basis of the clinical and imaging findings eight days after receiving subarachnoidal anesthesia for a C-section. She presented with emergent hypertensive crisis, and post-partum pre-eclampsia is ruled out. This presentation might be related with the inhibition of spinal regulatory centers. She was treated with systemic dexamethasone. The patient was totally symptom-free within 10 days and went on to recover fully and has been well during more than one year of follow-up.
