Complete resolution of myoclonuslike involuntary movements under subarachnoid block after midazolam administration in a patient undergoing cesarean section -a case report

Involuntary movement during and after neuraxial anesthesia, such as spinal and epidural anesthesia, is rarely observed. In this report, we describe a case of myoclonus-like involuntary movement of the upper extremities in a patient undergoinga planned repeat cesarean section under spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine that completely subsided after administrationof 2 mg of midazolam. The myoclonus-like movement did not recur or cause any apparent neurological sideeffects. KCI Citation Count: 0
