    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Urology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Lumbar punctures, while common diagnostic procedures, carry rare risks including spinal hematomas.
    • Patients on anticoagulant therapy have an increased risk of bleeding complications.

    Observation:

    • A renal allograft recipient on anticoagulation developed urinary retention and S2-S4 neurological deficits post-lumbar puncture.
    • Myelography revealed a posterior lumbosacral spinal canal defect.

    Findings:

    • Urodynamic testing indicated impaired parasympathetic and pudendal innervation.
    • This suggests a neurological basis for the observed urinary dysfunction.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition and management of spinal hematomas are crucial in patients undergoing lumbar puncture, especially those on anticoagulation.
