    Abstract:
    Case report of a 48-year-old man with a severe tetanus managed with conventional treatment associated with subarachnoid administration of baclofen. An epidural catheter was placed in spinal fluid at level L3-L4. Two injections of 1 mg baclofen at an interval of 1 hour amended the spasticity. Thereafter the treatment was maintained with a continuous infusion of 2 mg.24 h-1 over 20 days which resulted in an efficient control of spasticity. The final outcome was favourable.
