Abstract
The syndrome of transient neurological symptoms (TNS) after subarachnoid use of local anesthetics, particularly lidocaine, has been well described. This syndrome has not been reported with the subarachnoid use of opioids. This case report describes TNS that occurred after administration of subarachnoid meperidine, an opioid with local anesthetic properties.
