Spinal epidural hematoma is a rare and devastating complication of epidural catheter removal in an anticoagulated patient. The diagnosis could be quite challenging, especially in patients with preexisting neurological deficits. A 35-year-old patient with remote spinal cord injury and T4 level paraplegia developed a spinal epidural hematoma on the 7th postoperative day. The hematoma developed after epidural catheter removal with concurrent administration of unfractionated heparin.
脊髓硬膜外血肿是抗凝患者硬膜外导管拔出的罕见且严重的并发症。诊断极具挑战性，尤其是对于存在先前神经功能缺损的患者。一位 35 岁的患者，曾有过脊髓损伤和 T4 平面截瘫，术后第 7 天发生了脊髓硬膜外血肿。血肿是在硬膜外导管拔出的同时使用未分级肝素时发生的。
