Abstract |
We report a case of profound amnesia, anterograde and retrograde, in a patient, who had been premedicated with midazolam and underwent a posterior fusion of the cervical spine under inhalation anesthesia. The patient's memory was restored immediately after intravenous injections of the benzodiazepine antagonist flumazenil. |
