Well-known complications of abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery include haemorrhage, arterial occlusion, infection and aortoduodenal fistula. Less well known is the occurrence of paraplegia. At present there is no estimate of its incidence, and only isolated cases have been reported. We report 2 cases of paraplegia following elective aortic surgery and 2 others following acute occlusion of the abdominal aorta.
腹主动脉瘤手术的常见并发症包括出血、动脉闭塞、感染和主动脉十二指肠瘘。截瘫的发生则鲜为人知。目前尚无其发病率的估计，仅有个别病例报道。我们报告2例择期主动脉手术后发生截瘫的病例，以及另外2例腹主动脉急性闭塞后发生截瘫的病例。
