Abstract

Five ml diethyl ether was accidentally injected into the epidural space via an epidural catheter at the end of a Caesarean section. Immediately the patient felt a hot and burning pain in her legs that led to paraparesis, with a sensory level to T8. The patient showed bilateral recovery of both motor and sensory functions 4 hours after the accident.
