title: [Femoral nerve paralysis complicating anticoagulant treatments. A propos of 3 cases].
abstract: The authors report 3 new cases of femoral nerve paralysis complicating anticoagulant treatment. The first sign was pain, the neurological signs occurred later and the patient usually recovered but recovery was sometimes incomplete. The pathogenesis is not clear : a muscle hematoma, ischemia of the nerve trunk, and intraneural hemorrhage are the commonest theories.
