description We report a case of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) syndrome. A 80-year-old man with grade III Prostatomegaly was scheduled for transurethral resection of the prostate under spinal anesthesia. Just after the end of the surgery, the patient presented signs of TURP syndrome with bradycardia, arterial hypertension, hypoxemia and dizziness-confusion. The electrolytes analysis revealed an acute hyponatremia (sodium concentration 120.6 mmol/L) and hyperkalemia (potassium concentration 6.48 mmol/L). Medical treatment consisted of hypertonic saline solution 3% and nebulization with levosalbutamol. The presented case describes a typical TURP syndrome, which was diagnosed and treated early. The patient was discharged from hospital without any complications.
