We present the case of a 65-year-old man with latent thiamine deficiency who manifested lower limb neuropathy after receiving spinal anesthesia. We discuss our care of this patient and include a discussion of thiamine deficiency generally, its possible origins, symptoms, and recommended techniques for treatment of these patients.
