Abstract Background Transient myoclonic involuntary movements, typically referred to as spinal myoclonus (SM), rarely develop in the extremities following neuraxial anesthesia (NA). NA indications in patients with history of SM following NA (SM-NA) are unknown. Case presentation A 33-year-old woman developed SM-NA after elective cesarean section (CS). Approximately 130 min after spinal anesthesia induction, she began exhibiting involuntary movements, which became most severe after approximately 3 h. The involuntary movements gradually decreased without treatments and disappeared after approximately 5 h. The patient underwent CS on three occasions. The first CS (age, 29 years) was under a combination of spinal and epidural anesthesia. The third CS (age, 35 years) was completed using only spinal anesthesia. There were no neurological events during the postoperative courses for the first and third CS. Conclusions SM-NA can unexpectedly occur, and history of SM-NA may not be contraindicative for repeated NA. |
