Background: Subarachnoid anesthesia is the primary anesthetic method for elective cesarean section surgery, characterized by rapidly taking effect and reliable analgesia. However, subarachnoid anesthesia is prone to cause a high block level, resulting in a high incidence of maternal hypotension. How to reduce the incidence of maternal hypotension under subarachnoid anesthesia is a practical problem that needs to be solved urgently in clinical practice.

Background: The authors report the first case of thoracic interdural spinal cysts presenting as radiculopathy attributed to overdrainage-related cervical venous plexus enlargement. This case emphasizes the importance of considering interdural spinal cysts and cerebrospinal fluid overdrainage in the differential diagnosis of radiculopathy.
Observations: A 37-year-old male patient with a history of orthostatic headache presented with bilateral deltoid muscle atrophy consistent with C5 radiculopathy.

Background And Aims: Intravenous sedation during spinal anesthesia has the advantages of increased duration of spinal anesthesia and better postoperative pain control. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of intravenous bolus and infusion of dexmedetomidine versus ketamine given intraoperative on the postoperative analgesia in fracture femur patients operated under subarachnoid block.
Material And Methods: In this prospective randomized double-blind controlled study, 75 patients aged 18-65 years posted for elective surgery were selected and randomly divided into three groups to receive ketamine (group K), dexmedetomidine (group D), and saline (control group C).
