Spinal anestezi, umbilicus altındaki cerrahi girişimlerde kullanılan en sık bölgesel anestezi tekniğidir. Spinal anestezi baş ağrısı ve işitme kaybına neden olabilir. Bu durum çoğu hastada fark edilmez. Hastamıza hemoroid ameliyatı nedeniyle spinal anestezi uygulandı. Ameliyat sonrası dördüncü gün hastanın her iki kulağında ani işitme kaybı başladı. Olgu, ilgili literatür verileri eşliğinde sunuldu. Anahtar Sözcükler: Odyometri; postspinal işitme kaybı; spinal anestezi. Spinal anesthesia is the most regional anesthetic technique used in surgical procedures under the umbilicus. Spinal anesthesia may cause headaches and hearing loss. It is unnoticeable in most patients. Our patient underwent spinal anesthesia due to hemorrhoid surgery. The patient suffered from sudden bilateral hearing loss in the postoperative fourth day. We present the case in the light of related literature data.

P Pu ur rp po os se e: : We report a case in which a patient sustained a dural tear during spinal surgery under general anesthesia complicated by a severe and persistent unilateral sensorineural hearing loss.C Cl li in ni ic ca al l f fi in nd di in ng gs s: : A 51-yr-old man with no previous otological history underwent a posterior lumbar decompression surgery in the prone position under general anesthesia. A small dural tear was discovered intra-operatively and was repaired by sutures. Surgery lasted for eight hours with over 3 L of blood loss. Recovery from anesthesia was otherwise uneventful. A unilateral right-sided sensorineural hearing loss was discovered shortly after completion of surgery. This was associated with mild tinnitus but no vertigo. There was no aural fullness, pain, headache or postural element to his symptoms. Despite extensive investigations, treatment and followup by an otorhinolaryngologist, his symptoms failed to improve 18 months following surgery. D Di is sc cu us ss si io on n: : The possible etiologies, preventive strategies, prognosis and management plan of this rare complication are discussed.
