Medial medullary injury during adenoidectomy

The Journal of Pediatrics

Abstract

We report medullary injury during adenoidectomy in two children who received injections of local anesthetic agents into the operative bed. Initial manifestations included hemiparesis, nystagmus, and ataxia. Magnetic resonance imaging showed hemorrhagic, paramedian medullary lesions in both patients. The mechanism of injury is likely to be injection of fluid into the medulla.
