A 35-year old female patient with right upper tibial chondrosarcoma was planned to undergo excision and reconstruction with a free vascularised fibular graft. The patient had no significant past medical history. We gave spinal anesthesia, to be continued with general anesthesia after regression of the sensory level. After 3 hours, we evaluated the patient for the second time to find sensory block at T10 level. It was decided to carry out these evaluations hourly and wait for general anesthesia. 10 hours after the spinal anaesthesia, the sensory block was still at T10 level. After 13 hours the surgical procedure was finished and the sensory block was still at T10 level, and the motor block according to the Bromage scale remained at grade 4. A computed CT was performed and revealed neither signs of spinal compression, spinal canal stenosis nor other anomalies (MRI was unavailable). A complete motor and sensory recovery from the spinal block was observed 20 h after spinal anesthesia.
