Abstrakt: Objective: To report a case of TURP syndrome and emphasize the importance of early diagnosis.
Methods: A case of reabsorption syndrome in a patient that underwent transurethral resection under spinal anesthesia is presented.
Results: Reabsorption syndrome (TURP syndrome) is manifested by neurological and hemodynamic changes resulting from absorption of irrigating fluid used during transurethral resection of the prostate. This complication presented in a patient undergoing elective surgery and with no additional risk factors.
