Paraplegia after posterior fossa surgery is a rare and devastating complication. The authors reviewed a case of paraplegia following Chiari decompression and surveyed the literature to identify strategies to reduce the occurrence of such events.An obese 44-year-old woman had progressive left arm
A 73-year-old woman (height : 155 cm, weight : 55 kg) was scheduled to undergo a laparotomic hepatectomy and radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma. Her medical history did not include any relevant conditions such as cardiovascular or neurological disorders. A thoracic epidural
Thoracic epidural analgesia is a frequently utilised technique. Neurological complications are uncommon, but of grave consequence with significant morbidity. Spinal cord infarction following epidural anaesthesia is rare. We present a case where a hypertensive patient underwent an elective sigmoid
Paraplegia is a rare complication after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery mostly caused by spinal cord ischemia. Even rarer is the paraplegia following infarction involving both anterior cerebral artery (ACA) territories caused by embolism during coronary artery bypass graft surgery. This
Pediatric emergency medicine providers must be astute at generating the differential diagnosis and performing the appropriate evaluation to promptly determine the underlying cause of new onset paraplegia. Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is a potential etiology of paraplegia in children, and
Paraplegia after peripheral vascular surgery under spinal anesthesia is rare and may be a result of multiple factors, including hematoma, trauma from the needle, toxic injection, and spinal cord infarction. We report a case of T(10) paraplegia after uncomplicated spinal anesthesia in a patient
We report a case of spinal cord infarction in a 20-year-old man, who underwent abdominal surgery under general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia. The patient was a healthy young man with no medical history. After the operation, he complained of weakness and sensory blockade of both legs.
A 69-year-old Japanese man suddenly developed monoplegia of left lower extremity, followed by paraplegia and finally by tetraplegia. MRI revealed an infarction in bilateral medial medulla extending from the cervicomedullary junction up to the upper limit of the medulla. Both hypoglossal nerve palsy
Spinal cord infarction is uncommon and usually presents with sudden onset of motor and sensory disturbances. We report a case of a 64-year-old women without previous medical history, who presented with acute onset of paraplegia after lifting. However, radiologic examinations did not show any
Paraplegia is an extremely rare complication following any surgery, especially cardiac surgery. The underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood and even though spinal infarction has been reported previously, it is almost always associated with the use of intra-aortic balloon pump. We report the
Tumor excision surgeries of the spine present a distinct challenge regarding the maintenance of spinal cord blood supply because they often require preoperative embolization of segmental arteries, ligation of the corresponding nerve roots, and circumferential exposure of the dural sac. The authors
BACKGROUND
Cardiovascular disease has become a leading cause of death for patients with paraplegia. Acute myocardial infarction in patients with paraplegia has not been described in the literature. This study investigates clinical features, management strategies, and outcomes of these
Spinal cord infarction followed by minor trauma in pediatric patients is rare and causes serious paralysis. Fibrocartilaginous embolism (FCE) is a possible diagnosis and there have been no consecutive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reports. Here, we report a case of an acute complete paraplegia
Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) affects the small arteries, arterioles, venules and capillaries in the brain and can be identified clinically and/or radiologically. We describe the case of a 71-year-old man with sporadic cerebral SVD who presented with acute paraplegia with urinary Spinal cord infarction is rare and represents a diagnostic challenge for many physicians. There are few reported cases worldwide with a prevalence of 1.2% of all strokes. Circulation to the spinal cord is supplied by a rich anastomosis. The anterior spinal artery supplies the anterior two thirds of
