| Popis: | Clinical signs and symptoms of acute meningitis developed twenty-four hours after cessation of caudal anesthesia continued for nearly six hours in a previously normal gravida iii in premature labor. No evidence of infectious focus could be demonstrated elsewhere in the body. The spinal fluid of three selected normal patients, each carried for more than six hours on continuous caudal anesthesia, was grossly and microscopically normal. This suggests that neither metycaine nor the plastic catheter was irritating to the meninges of these three patients. This is one of the few, and perhaps the second, case of meningitis reported following continuous caudal anesthesia. |
