  • Title: Perioperative autonomic hyperreflexia in high spinal cord lesions: a case report.
    Author: Raeder JC, Gisvold SE.
    Journal: Acta Anaesthesiol Scand; 1986 Nov; 30(8):672-3. PubMed ID: 3811812.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 20-year-old man with serious perioperative attacks of autonomic hyperreflexia starting during urological surgery 14 months after a complete C6-C7 spinal cord injury. The intraoperative attacks were controlled by deepening the level of anaesthesia, while the postoperative attacks were treated with emepronium bromide. A brief discussion of the pathophysiology and treatment is given.
