The ideal regimen and the optimal starting point for thromboembolic prophylaxis in spinal procedures remain unclear. We report a case of postoperative spinal epidural haematoma following thrombolysis for stroke in patient within 48 h of emergency lumbar microdiscectomy. Thrombolysis should be considered in patients with spinal surgery who developed arterial cerebral thrombosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
