title: [Paraplegia after prolonged cardiac arrest and extracorporeal life support].
abstract: Paraplegia by medullar ischaemia after cardiac arrest is rarely reported, especially without an oxo-ischaemic cerebral lesions. We report the case of a 17-year-old woman who underwent a 70 minute cardiac arrest with recovery of consciousness, but a symptomatic medullar ischaemia (paraplegia under T4).
