Abstract:
A 42-year-old Latin American female with acute lymphocytic leukemia in second relapse developed a small ecthymic lesion around the entrance site of a left subclavian line. This was followed by development of left-sided hemiparesis with contralateral loss of pain and temperature sensation. CT of the neck revealed a diffuse inflammatory process with soft tissue involvement and several bubbles of air in the anterior paraspinal muscles and within the spinal canal in the epidural location.
