Abstract
An interesting rare case of post-anesthesia spinal epidural hematoma leading to cord compression in an 18-year-old girl having pelvic and bi-lobar hepatic metastatic masses which required operative intervention by laminectomy decompression has been reported. Patient had laparotomy for a pelvic mass with hepatic metastasis for staged debulking and the complication developed on 4th post operative day during mobilization and the anesthesiology, pain control, neurology and surgical teams identified it, confirmed with magnetic resonance imaging scan and treated by immediate decompressive laminectomy with partial recovery.
