Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the impact of rotating an epidural needle 45° towards the surgical side on the effectiveness of the block and patient recovery during knee surgery.
- Forty patients were divided into a control group (standard needle placement) and a rotation group (needle rotated 45°) to compare sensory and motor block progression, along with hemodynamic effects.
- Results showed that the rotation group experienced faster sensory block onset but took longer for motor block duration, with no significant differences in hemodynamic parameters between the two groups.
Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a neurocutaneous disorder, characterized by leptomeningeal angiomas involving the oral cavity, trachea, larynx, and face. Herein, we present a case of vitrectomy in a seven-year-old boy with SWS. The patient showed hemangioma on the left side of his face, as well as mental retardation and epilepsy.
