Femoral neuropathy due to compression by retroperitoneal haemorrhage: a modern evaluation.
We report a case of femoral neuropathy due to retroperitoneal haemorrhage occurring during the administration of heaprin. The site of the hematoma is illustrated in the CT scan. It is emphasised that the modern assessment of peripheral neuropathies in the lower limbs associated with retroperitoneal haemorrhage by means of CT scan will promote our understanding of the natural history of this condition.
