Spinal epidural hematoma following a thoracic epidural in a child with sickle cell disease
2017
Key Clinical Message
Acute liver dysfunction in the perioperative period may increase the risk of epidural hematoma in a patient with a neuraxial catheter. Coagulation testing needs to be carefully monitored in these patients. An epidural hematoma should be ruled out urgently by CT or MRI in cases of a persistent motor block.
