Abstract

Several cases have been reported in which symptoms suggestive of transient radicular irritation occurred after the use of lidocaine (lignocaine) for spinal anaesthesia. We report three patients in whom we observed similar symptoms after uneventful spinal anaesthesia using isobaric 2% mepivacaine.
