title: [Femoral compression neuropathy caused by spontaneous hematoma during heparin therapy: description of a case].
abstract: Heparin therapy has become widespread during the past few years. Consequently, the haemorrhagic complications of this therapy have become more common. In some cases, the clinical manifestations do not directly recall the haemorrhagic episode but rather, they simulate intercurrent pathologies. This is the case with femoral neuropathy from psoas haematoma which we refer to here.
