ABSTRACT
Epidural anesthesia and analgesia provide a better outcome after major surgery. Several complications such as hypotension, motor block and dural puncture are well known. Epidural anesthesia and analgesia may also cause pressures sore in elderly and debilitated patients. Prolonged soft tissue compression results in discomfort and pain secondary to local ischemia in normal individuals. The presence of hypotension, hypothermia and the interruption of venous or lymphatic drainage of the lower extremities, as well as the lack of frequent repositioning, are all contributing factors to the development of pressure sore. We describe a pressure sore that occurred in two young and healthy parturients after epidural anesthesia and analgesia.
