Résumé
Transcervical resection of endometrium is under-utilized in the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding, uterine myoma and menorrhagia. The procedure is similar to transurethral resection of prostate in men with a possibility of substantial absorption of irrigation fluid. Absorption of a large volume of fluid can cause excessive intravascular volume, hyponatremia, cerebral edema and death. Severe hyponatremia leading to extrapontine myelinolysis is an extremely rare complication of this procedure. So, We report a case of developed extrapontine myelinolysis after hysteroscopic myomectomy which, however, showed complete recovery.

We must be assured that sympathetic ganglion block interrupts a vicious cycle of nerve impulses. Therefore, it prevents vasospasm and improves local circulation. The sympathetic ganglion block is effective in acute stage of herpes zoster and reduces the incidence of post-herpetic neuralgia. Herpes zoster is more often involved in an immunosuppressive imbalance. Three cases of herpes zoster were treated by repeated sympathetic ganglion block with 1% proved. Duration from onset of pain was 1 week, 1 month and 2 months, respectively. The block decreased the degree of pain markedly and dried up the vesicle in the early stage. Two of these three cases had suffering from diabetes melitus.

Lidocaine is considered a safe and effective local anesthetic in anesthesiology and is the standard to which new amide anesthetics are compared. As it an amide derivative, and the frequency with which lidocaine elicits an allergic response is much less than that of anesthetics derived from paraaminobenroic acid esters. Case reports od sensitivity to lidoeaine have been reported, but they are rare. This 29 year old male patient had on episode of asthmatic breathing after supraclavicular brachial plexus block using 30 ml of 1% lidocaine with epinephrine(1:200,000). We report a case of asthmatic breathing due to lidocaine and a review of the literature for allergy local anesthetics.
