<br/><br/> Abstract:  Minimally invasive surgeries are becoming the norm in today's operative setting, and hysteroscopic surgeries are part of that technological progress. It is therefore imperative for an Anesthesiologist to be part of that progress and be cognizant of not only its advantages but its disadvantages as well. Every procedure has its concomitant risks and we should be abreast the knowledge on how to identify and manage them.  This is a case of a 47-year old female diagnosed with Myoma Uteri who underwent Hysterocopic Transcervical Resection of Leiomyoma followed by Endometrial Curettage under Subarachnoid Block. Post-operatively, she experienced generalized tonic-clonic seizure and was diagnosed with hypomagnesemia and hyponatremia.  The objective of this report: 1. To discuss electrolyte derangement as a complication of operative hysteroscopy. 2. To discuss early recognition and management of electrolyte imbalance.
