Abstract:
We report a patient who developed paraplegia following percutaneous nephrolithotresis of the left kidney under epidural anaesthesia. The cause of the paraplegia was unknown, but occlusion of the anterior spinal artery or central arteries and arachnoiditis, possibly due to the epidural anaesthesia, may have taken part in the onset and progression of the paralysis. The patient had spinal myoclonus corresponding to the spinal levels where myelomalacia was found by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.
