BACKGROUND: Paralysis of abducens nerve is a very rare complication of lumbar puncture, which is a common procedure most often used for diagnostic and anesthetic purposes. CASE REPORT: A 38-year-old @entity1 underwent surgery for a @entity4553 while he was under spinal anesthesia. On the first postoperative day, the @entity1 experienced a severe @entity10 that did not respond to standard nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication and hydration. During the second postoperative day, @entity390 and @entity391 occurred. On the fourth postoperative day, @entity390 ceased completely but the @entity1 complained of @entity892 . Examination revealed bilateral strabismus with bilateral @entity2896 . His @entity892 resolved completely after 9 weeks and strabismus after 6 months. CONCLUSION: @entity9175 following spinal anesthesia is a rare and reversible complication. Spinal anesthesia is still a feasible procedure for both the orthopaedic surgeon and the @entity1 . Other types of anesthesia or performing spinal anesthesia with smaller diameter or atraumatic spinal needles may help decrease the incidence of @entity9175 . Informing the @entity1 about the reversibility of the complication is essential during the follow-up because the palsy may last for as long as 6 months. Special attention must be paid to @entity1 positioning following the operation. Recumbency and lying flat should be accomplished as soon as possible to prevent @entity5173 and resultant @entity551 . This becomes much more important if the @entity1 has postdural puncture @entity10 .
