My son who has cerebral palsy went under major surgery last spring. 6 weeks later all of a sudden he ended up with a neurogenic bladder (urges to urinate every 30 minutes but couldn't), gastroparesis, and toxic hepatitis do to his Lortab. This lasted all summer. Went to many specialist and yet no one can give me the name of what happened to him. Finally, in August he seemed to go back to normal. I know there is a name for this some type of syndrome per my personal physician, but can't seem to find the name. I just want to know what happened to my son and for furture reference for his health I need to know. I am scared if he ever has surgery again he could die. Does anyone know what happened and what the name of the Syndrome is that happened to him? Keep in mind he has been through almost 10 doctors regarding this matter and no one can give me a name. I know there is a name out there. From a Mothers Love, Caryn

I will start off by say that I not a doctor, but a student surgical tech. I don't remember the exact name of the syndrome, but If he was under anesthesia for a long time it could be a complication to that. Anesthesia is known to be toxic to the liver and kidneys. As many patients have no problems with it, there are still a few who do. Hope this helps. Your first step is to get a transcript of the surgery and anesthesia report and go from there. Look up each medication, side effects, and adverse reactions. I happened across your post while looking for research for a lab next week. I am a mother myself and know how it is. It is important to find the answer in case he may need a future surgery and to know if this can be avoided in the future. The answers are out there, sometimes it takes quite awhile to find them. Good luck and I hope your son is well on the way to recover.

Mom is 79 and in excellent health. She had thoracic aortic aneurysm. After the surgery she began to vomit causing spinal fluid and blood to spill out from the drain which reduce spinal fluid pressures during surgery. She still feels nauseous and has a severe headache. The drain has been out since day 2. It has been 4 days and she still has a headache and can not keep foods down. They want to transport her to a rehad but she seems so ill. What is going on? With her symptoms and what should we do?

Why was I not awake from anesthesia for 5 days after my total hip replacement surgery? I have no knowledge of what happened from the Friday when I was put to sleep until the Wednesday thereafter? I apparently had blood transfusions on the Sunday, and I was unaware of it. My blood pressure and blood oxygen levels dropped and continues to be so after awakening and discharge also. I have never had any problems with my previous surgery.
