    AbstractWe report a cardiac arrest in a 66 years healthy patient during a spinal anesthesia for a transurethral resection of prostate. The accident occurred one hour and fifteen minutes after the subarachnoidal injection of hyperbaric lidocaine 80 mg, at the end of surgery, but before any postural change. We attempt to elucidate the surgical or anesthesiologic precipitating factors that lead to the cardiac arrest in this patient. However, there was no real etiology that formally explained the genesis of the accident. This case is to add to a series of recently published accidents that occurred during spinal anesthesia in healthy patients.
