Anaesthesia
-
Neurotoxicity manifesting as convulsions is a recognised complication of the administration of local anaesthetic drugs as part of a regional anaesthetic technique. We describe a case of self-limiting convulsions following the institution of an axillary brachial plexus block with levobupivacaine. Although the occurrence of convulsions following the administration of racemic bupivacaine is a well-recognised complication, there have been no clinical case reports published describing convulsions following the use of levobupivacaine in regional anaesthesia.
