Resumo

We report a 52-year-old woman scheduled for laparotomy with combined epidural-general anesthesia who experienced abnormal responses to local anesthetic injections administered via the epidural catheter. The catheter subsequently was found to be in the subdural space. A review of the literature is provided.
