Abstract

We report the case of a 70-year-old woman with paraplegia resulting from spinal cord compression secondary to an epidural haematoma. Because of an arrhythmia, a mitral valve replacement and the high risk of venous thrombosis, an anticoagulant treatment was introduced postoperatively. The patient having previously developed an type II heparin-induced thrombocytopaenia, a treatment by lepirudine was established successfully.
