Although the incidence of this complication is low, it may increase remarkably in the presence of certain risk factors. Therefore, when planning neuraxial techniques, particularly as an adjunct to general endotracheal anesthesia, the risk–benefit ratio should be carefully considered.</p> <p><bold>CASE DESCRIPTION:</bold> A 44-year-old female patient was admitted for surgical treatment of a hemangioma of the right hepatic lobe. The procedure was performed under combined general and epidural anesthesia. Thirty-four hours after surgery, the patient developed severe pain at the surgical site. On postoperative day 2, numbness in the lower extremities was noted, and the epidural catheter was removed. On postoperative day 5, pain developed at the site of the previously placed epidural catheter. Subsequent evaluation revealed an intradural hematoma at the same level. Due to the progression of neurological symptoms, surgical intervention was performed, including spinal cord decompression and evacuation of the hematoma. Following this procedure, spinal cord compression and neurological deficits persisted, necessitating a second neurosurgical intervention, including evacuation of an intermuscular hematoma in the postoperative wound and revision of the subdural space. On postoperative day 10, the patient was transferred to a rehabilitation unit and was subsequently discharged without neurological deficits.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION:</bold> This case demonstrates that clinical manifestations of spinal hematoma may occur at any stage of hospitalization: immediately after epidural catheter placement, during catheterization, or even several days after catheter removal. Accordingly, careful postoperative monitoring is essential in patients receiving epidural anesthesia. Since favorable outcomes after spinal cord decompression are critically dependent on the time between the onset of severe neurological symptoms and surgical intervention, early magnetic resonance imaging of the spine is recommended at the slightest suspicion of spinal hematoma. If magnetic resonance imaging is not readily available, alternative neuroimaging modalities should be performed without delay.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование.</bold> Одним из тяжёлых осложнений после нейроаксиальных блокад является спинальная гематома, которая может приводить к снижению качества жизни, тяжёлой инвалидизации или даже смерти пациента. Частота данного осложнения достаточно низкая, однако при определённых обстоятельствах и факторах риска она может значительно увеличиться, поэтому при планировании нейроаксиальных блокад, особенно используемых в качестве дополнительного метода аналгезии при общей эндотрахеальной анестезии, следует учитывать соотношение риск/польза.</p> <p><bold>Описание клинического случая.</bold> Пациентка Д., 44 года, поступила в клинику для проведения операции по поводу гемангиомы правой доли печени. Операция выполнена в условиях сочетанной общей и эпидуральной анестезии. Через 34 ч после операции у пациентки возникла сильная боль в области послеоперационной раны, на 2-е послеоперационные сутки отмечалось онемение ног, в связи с чем эпидуральный катетер был удалён. На 5-е сутки после операции появилась боль в области ранее установленного эпидурального катетера, и после обследования пациентки была обнаружена интрадуральная гематома на том же уровне. Ввиду нарастания неврологической симптоматики было принято решение об оперативном вмешательстве — декомпрессии спинного мозга и опорожнении гематомы. После этой операции сдавление спинного мозга и неврологическая симптоматика сохранялись, поэтому была проведена вторая нейрохирургическая операция — опорожнение межмышечной гематомы послеоперационной раны, ревизия субдурального пространства. На 10-е сутки пациентка переведена в отделение реабилитации, после восстановительного периода она выписана из клиники без какой-либо неврологической симптоматики.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Данный клинический случай показывает, что явные признаки спинальных гематом могут возникнуть на любом этапе госпитализации: как сразу после установки эпидурального катетера, так и во время нахождения катетера в эпидуральном пространстве или даже через несколько дней после удаления эпидурального катетера. В связи с этим пациентам после эпидуральной анестезии требуется более тщательное наблюдение. Поскольку вероятность благоприятного исхода при декомпрессии спинного мозга напрямую зависит от времени, прошедшего с момента появления грубых неврологических симптомов, до выполнения операции, мы рекомендуем выполнять магнитно-резонансную томографию позвоночника при малейших подозрениях на спинальную гематому как можно раньше, а при невозможности выполнения в ближайшие сроки обеспечить выполнение других методов нейровизуализации данной области.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>case report</kwd><kwd>epidural anesthesia</kwd><kwd>spinal hematoma</kwd><kwd>intradural hematoma</kwd><kwd>epidural hematoma</kwd><kwd>laminectomy</kwd><kwd>complications</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>клинический случай</kwd><kwd>эпидуральная анестезия</kwd><kwd>спинальная гематома</kwd><kwd>интрадуральная гематома</kwd><kwd>эпидуральная гематома</kwd><kwd>ламинэктомия</kwd><kwd>осложнения</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Bhosle R, Raju D, Patel SS, et al.
