  • Title: Epidural hematoma as a cause of postpneumonectomy paraplegia.
    Author: Perez-Guerra F, Holland JM.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1985 Mar; 39(3):282. PubMed ID: 3977474.
    Abstract:
    Postpneumonectomy paraplegia developed in a woman admitted for resection of bronchogenic carcinoma. Postpneumonectomy paraplegia is an uncommon, but catastrophic, event that is thought to be caused primarily by ischemia to the spinal cord; in this instance an epidural hematoma was the cause. Recommendations for prevention are presented.
