It was postoperatively determined that a tumour of the vertebrae which was compressing the spinal cord was responsible for this complication. We suggest that the preexisting pathology of the spine must be borne in mind as a differential diagnosis of acute postoperative paraplegia.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCombined Spinal Epidural AnesthesiaComplications, ParaplegiaTumour Of VertebraeParaplegia associated with combined spinal-epidural anaesthesia caused by preoperatively unrecognized spinal vertebral metastasisParaplegia associated with combined spinal-epidural anaesthesia caused by preoperatively unrecognized spinal vertebral metastasisArticle46911651167WOS:0001783378000192-s2.0-00367863571236651610.1034/j.1399-6576.2002.460919.xQ2Q2
