Two cases of definitive paraplegia following umbilical artery catheterization are reported. In both patients, the paraplegia can be attributed to a myelomalacia secondary to the thrombosis or embolization of the feeding arteries of the cord. The treatment by fibrinolytic agents was unsuccessful and the only therapeutic approach appears to be a preventive one. This prophylaxis would best be accomplished by limiting the indications and duration of umbilical artery catheterization.
报告了两例脐动脉插管后确诊截瘫的病例。在这两名患者中，截瘫可归因于脊髓供血动脉血栓形成或栓塞继发的脊髓软化。纤溶药物治疗未成功，唯一的治疗方法似乎是预防性的。通过限制脐动脉插管的适应症和持续时间可最好地实现这种预防。
