    Document: In 1899, August Bier reported the successful use of spinal anesthesia in an 11-yearold child during excision of a tumor on the thigh. 1 This initial report was followed by the publication in the early 1900s of two case series regarding the use of spinal anesthesia in infants and children. 2, 3 However, despite its popularity in adults, the technique never gained great popularity in pediatric anesthesia until the 1980s when it was shown to be a suitable alternative to general anesthesia in the high-risk, former preterm neonate.
