[Atypical site of epidural hematoma--after epidural analgesia]

Abstract:
We report a case of epidural haematoma with an unusual position which was believed to be a sequela after placement of an epidural catheter in a 58-year old female. The catheter was inserted at level T12-L1 and the haematoma was found at level T5-7. The patient received heparin s/c 5000 IE x 2 immediately postoperatively. The clinical signs were atypical, with no backpain. We conclude that the development of symptoms is not necessarily related to the introduction of the catheter. In the actual case it is most likely that the symptoms had their origin from a spontaneous spinal epidural haematoma.
