【 摘 要 】

Peripheral nerve lesions are a complication of operative procedures under both general and regional anesthesia. The study incorporates a case of twenty eight year old woman who developed left foot drop after removal of a McDonald cervical suture followed by Caesarean section under subarachnoid block (SAB). Intra-operatively, she was put in lithotomy position for removal of the McDonald cervical suture. Her neurological deficit gradually recovered over the next ten months. We suggest that intra-operative positioning for cervical suture removal may have caused this injury.
