Abstract
A case is described where an epidural anaesthetic was complicated by dural puncture, following which attempted conversion to a continuous subarachnoid infusion technique resulted in failure of anaesthesia. Accidental subdural catheter placement was confirmed radiologically, subdural spread of solution being demonstrated; however, only minimal anaesthetic effects were produced.
