Spinal adhesive arachnoiditis after spinal anesthesia complicated by communicating hydrocephalus - A case report
CONCLUSION: AA is a challenging condition associated with inflammation and scarring of the arachnoid membrane. The development of hydrocephalus following epidural anesthesia, in this case, highlights a rare manifestation of arachnoiditis. Further research and documentation are needed to understand better the underlying mechanisms and risk factors contributing to hydrocephalus in the context of AA following epidural anesthesia.PMID:38468646 | PMC:PMC10927229 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_933_2023
