Spinal Epidural Hematoma After Accidental Epidural Catheter Removal in a Patient With Sepsis
We present a case of spinal epidural hematoma after accidental epidural catheter removal. The findings highlight that a blood clot might have formed at the tip of the epidural catheter left without continuous administration. When accidental epidural catheter removal occurred, pulling of the blood clot might induce spinal epidural hematoma.
