ABSTRACT

Paraesthesia is defined as an electrical sensation, firing, burning or pain in the leg, gluteal region or perineum during a neuroaxial block. Neuroaxial blockades are considered safe techniques because the incidence of major complications is; however, low. when they are present, they cause a high morbidity that implies a deterioration in the quality of life and an increased risk of medical-legal issues for anesthesiologists; therefore, the appearance of a paraesthesia should not be ignored and it must be considered as an ominous sign of a possible neurological injury, to prevent permanent deficits; as well as an independent risk factor for persistent paresthesia, so it should be handled in a timely manner.
