摘要
椎管内麻醉后出现颅内积气是一种少见的并发症,相关文献报道的椎管内或颅内积气多与麻醉过程中采用空气阻力消失法相关,生理盐水阻力消失法罕见.本文报告1例采用生理盐水阻力消失法实施椎管内麻醉手术后发生颅内积气的患者资料.患者为38岁女性,无明显诱因肛周肿痛1周,择期椎管内麻醉下行"肛周脓肿切开排脓+肛瘘切除内扣挂线+混合痔外剥内扎+肛乳头瘤电灼术".术后第2天出现头痛、头晕,以及颈部、后背剧烈疼痛,伴手臂麻木且无法触碰及活动,平卧位休息后无好转,头部CT发现颅内散在多发积气,总量约3mL.经多学科会诊,采取卧床休息、补液、吸氧、消炎止痛等对症支持治疗,病情好转出院,半年后随访无不适.目前采用生理盐水阻力消失法实施椎管内麻醉后颅内积气的病理生理机制、诊断、治疗、预防尚不明确,仍需进一步研究.
Abstract
Intraspinal air is a rare complication of intraspinal anesthesia.Reported cases of intraspinal or intracranial air are mostly associated with the air insufflation resistance test,while those associated with the normal saline resistance test are rare.This article presents a case of intracranial air following intraspinal anesthesia performed using the normal saline resistance method.The patient was a 38-year-old female who underwent elective intraspinal anesthesia for 1 week without obvious cause of perianal swelling and pain.The procedure included incision and drainage of perianal abscess,excision of anal fistula with internal thread insertion,mixed hemorrhoid exfoliation and internal ligation,and electrocautery of anal papilloma.On the second postoperative day,she experienced headaches,dizziness,severe neck and back pain,along with numbness in the arms and inability to touch or move them.Resting in a supine position did not alleviate the symptoms.Head CT revealed scattered multiple air collections in the cranial cavity,with a total volume of approximately 3 mL.After a multidisciplinary consultation,symptomatic supportive treatment including bed rest,fluid supplementation,oxygen therapy,and anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment was administered,leading to improvement and discharge.Follow-up at 6 months showed no discomfort.Currently,intracranial air is mostly associated with the air insufflation resistance test,while cases following the normal saline resistance method are rare,with unclear pathophysiological mechanisms,diagnosis,treatment,and prevention,necessitating further research.
