Issue Date: | 2002 | Journal Volume: | 81 | Journal Issue: | 1 | Start page/Pages: | 68-71 | Source: | American Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation | Abstract: | This article describes a 16-yr-old male patient who went into shock and cardiac arrest 2 wk after surgical repair of an atrial septal defect. Cardiac tamponade was diagnosed and promptly treated, and his hemodynamic status stabilized 4 hr after the initial presentation of shock; however, paraplegia was found when the patient regained consciousness. Physicians should be alert to a possible diagnosis of spinal cord infarction in patients with complications of cardiovascular surgery, particularly when a new onset of neurologic symptoms or signs occurs. |
