The drop foot cases that are associated with developing neuropathies as a result of acute compartment syndrome or femoral artery ischemia after having cannulation for venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) have been reported rarely in literature. In this case report, female patients who are 21 years old and developed drop foot depending on ECMO during the process of lung transplantation will be presented as both to be one of the rare neurological complications connected to ECMO and its possible causes will be analyzed.
