Spinal anaesthesia is the injection of local anaesthetic into the subarachnoid space. It is a simple technique that can be used to provide surgical anaesthesia for procedures involving the abdomen, pelvis and lower limbs. To perform the technique safely it is important to understand the physiology of the block and the pharmacology of the drugs commonly used. Although serious complications are rare, they must be recognized and managed quickly.Spinal anaesthesia has been used for centuries in anaesthesia practice as a relatively safe and effective technique. Although rare, spinal anaesthesia-induced neurological complications may result in serious sequelae. The understanding of triggering factors of spinal anaesthesia-induced neurological complications may prevent them and help early diagnosis and treatment.We present a case of motor paralysis with bladder and bowel involvement post-spinal anaesthesia in a patient who underwent a caesarean section.
