This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.
We describe a case of spinal block which developed after a second "top-up" of local anaesthetic during segmental epidural analgesia in labour. The incidence of similar cases is reviewed. The importance of aspiration and the injection of a "test" dose before every "top-up" is stressed.
