  • Title: Paraplegia associated with combined spinal-epidural anaesthesia caused by preoperatively unrecognized spinal vertebral metastasis.
    Author: Kararmaz A, Turhanoglu A, Arslan H, Kaya S, Turhanoglu S.
    Journal: Acta Anaesthesiol Scand; 2002 Oct; 46(9):1165-7. PubMed ID: 12366516.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case of paraplegia following combined spinal-epidural anaesthesia. It was postoperatively determined that a tumour of the vertebrae which was compressing the spinal cord was responsible for this complication. We suggest that the pre-existing pathology of the spine must be borne in mind as a differential diagnosis of acute postoperative paraplegia.
