Abstract
A patient developed spinal cord compression following epidural analgesia. The diagnosis was made difficult by the presence of epidural analgesia, although the compression was not in fact related to the analgesic technique employed. This case highlights the need for close observation of patients in whom epidural analgesia is, or has recently been, employed and the need to consider alternative reasons for neurological deficit.
