Abstract

Epidural procedures are widely used as an analgesic adjunct in various surgeries, allowing for a reduction in the use of opioids and the avoidance of their side effects. According to the third National Audit Project in the United Kingdom, the incidence of serious complications related to epidural puncture is very low. A case is presented of a 66-year-old woman who underwent surgery for ovarian oncological pathology and developed, as a complication of neuroaxial anaesthesia in the postoperative period, a sensory-motor disorder limited to the lower limbs, compatible with the paraparesis variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Resumen

Los procedimientos epidurales son ampliamente utilizados como complemento analgésico en diversas cirugías, lo que permite disminuir el uso de opioides y evitar sus efectos secundarios. Según el tercer Proyecto Nacional de Auditoría en Reino Unido, la incidencia de complicaciones graves relacionadas con la punción epidural es muy baja. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 66 años sometida a un procedimiento quirúrgico por patología ovárica oncológica que en el periodo postoperatorio desarrolla como complicación de la anestesia neuroaxial un trastorno sensitivomotor limitado a miembros inferiores compatible con la variante paraparética del síndrome de Guillain- Barré.
