Pre-existing neurological conditions are still a problem because of lawsuits and thus some anesthesiologists tend to prefer general anesthesia, as has been reported by Ver-cauteren and Heytens, or in the retrospective trial by Drake et al. However, there is no strong proof about any serious consequences from regional anesthesia in these patients.
Las enfermedades neurológicas preexistentes aún representan un problema, debido a litigios legales; por lo tanto, algunos anestesiólogos tienden a preferir anestesia general, como lo reportan Vercauteren y Heytens, o el estudio retrospectivo de Drake et al., aunque no hay pruebas sólidas acerca de complicaciones graves relacionadas con la anestesia regional en estos pacientes.
