Sarah Hasan Siddiqui
Aga Khan University Hospital, Pakistan
A42 year old male developed rapid onset bilateral leg weakness following epidural analgesia which he was receiving for post-
operative pain control. He had undergone partial Gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric carcinoma. On examination he had
bilateral flaccid paralysis of legs, areflexia in lower limbs and variable sensory impairment up to T 9 dermatome. MRI spine did not
reveal any compression initially. Nerve conduction study demonstrated abnormal motor NCS with either no response or very low
amplitudes in lower limbs. Repeat MRI spine after 4 weeks demonstrated thickening and enhancement of cauda equina nerve roots
representing radiculitis. Patient is currently bedbound with no significant improvement in his neurological status.
