title: Spinal epidural haematoma following thrombolysis for acute ischaemic stroke in patient within 48h of emergency lumbar microdiscectomy.
abstract: The ideal regimen and the optimal starting point for thromboembolic prophylaxis in spinal procedures remain unclear. We report a case of postoperative spinal epidural haematoma following thrombolysis for stroke in patient within 48 h of emergency lumbar microdiscectomy. Thrombolysis should be considered in patients with spinal surgery who developed arterial cerebral thrombosis.
