A 37-year-old woman (G1P0AB0L0) with 181 cm height and 88 kg weight presented to our clinic for cesarean section due to fetal distress. She had no history of cardiopulmonary, nervous, or sensory motor problems before the cesarean section. The preanesthetic examination indicated the following results: a body temperature of 36.5°C, 17 breaths/min, 78 beats/min, and a blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg. Moreover, preoperative routine coagulation results were normal (international normalized ratio=1). On fetal ultrasonography, cephalic presentation and a normal anterior placenta (grade II) were reported (amniotic fluid index, 105 mm; estimated fetal weight, 3,150 g). The spinal anesthesia was performed after obtaining the mother’s consent. She was initially monitored in terms of electrocardiography, peripheral capillary oxygen saturation, and noninvasive blood pressure. Then, 500 mL of 0.9% normal saline was administered. Spinal anesthesia was induced in the sitting position, using a 25-guage pencil-point spinal needle. The needle was inserted into the L3–L4 space and, after withdrawal of the cerebrospinal fluid, 3 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine was injected. Following needle removal, her position was immediately changed to the supine position. Spinal anesthesia was induced without any incidents, pain, or paresthesia at the time of needle insertion or local anesthetic injection. After 5 minutes and attaining an upper sensory level of T4, the cesarean section was performed without any significant blood pressure changes on ~40 minutes. During operation, we infused 1,500 mL of 0.9% saline again with 700 mL hemorrhage. The patient had no significant hypotension, and we did not inject vasopressor. After 90 minutes, the nerve block was on T10 level, and on 2.5 hours, the patient had no foot anesthesia and could move and flex her knees. Following the cesarean section and recovery from spinal anesthesia, the patient reported tingling and paresthesia of the left lower limb. Upon examination, the right dorsiflexion was normal, whereas the left dorsiflexion was reduced to the II/V level. The right plantar flexion was normal, whereas the left plantar flexion was reduced to II/V. The patient complained of foot drop, and her left ankle was immobile with reduced leg muscle strength (II/V). Other than the left foot drop, there were no other sensory and motor symptoms in upper left leg. Sensory and motor examinations were normal in the right leg. Lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results were reported to be normal. The electromyography (EMG) showed reduced conduction velocity, besides increased latency and frequency in the lumbar region. A 500 mg intravenous methylprednisolone was prescribed daily for 3 days and was gradually reduced over the next days. The patient’s foot drop was resolved in about 72 hours. She had no other problems and was discharged 3 days after cesarean section. After 1 week, she referred no related signs to the clinic, and the neurological examination was normal.
