AbstractThis article reports the case of a man who developed a pure motor paraplegia following epidural anesthesia with a pattern of slow recovery over subsequent months. Reviewing the available literature on post-epidural paraplegia we noted a number of potential etiologies and analyzed their role in its causation. On the basis of this analysis we have identified five distinct clinical groups and a constellation of factors which can lead to an increased risk of post-epidural paraplegia in susceptible surgical patients.
