title: [Femoral paralysis caused by hematoma of the internal iliac fossa during anticoagulant treatment. Value of early surgical treatment].
abstract: The authors report two personal cases and review published cases of femoral paralysis due to hematoma of the internal iliac fossa complicating anticoagulant treatment. The interest of pelvic body scanning is emphasised both in diagnosis and for the assessment of the course of various hematomas of the internal iliac fossa. A plan for treatment is proposed in which surgery is of great importance. The latter is always effective both for the pain and the motor deficiency, a precise topographical localisation of the hematoma may be a decisive argument in favour of an early operation.
