We report the case of a 16-year-old boy with a pelvic tumor who developed signs of spinal cord compression following placement of a lumbar epidural catheter to obtain a percutaneous biopsy. The fact that a catheter had been inserted led us to suspect epidural hematoma as a complication, but surgery revealed that the pelvic tumor had spread to the lumbar epidural space and was causing motor blockade of both legs.
我们报告了一例16岁患有盆腔肿瘤的男孩,在置入腰椎硬膜外导管以进行经皮活检后出现脊髓压迫症状。由于已插入导管,我们怀疑硬膜外血肿是一种并发症,但手术显示盆腔肿瘤已扩散至腰椎硬膜外间隙并导致双腿运动阻滞。
