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.[SDGs]SDG3Cardiovascular surgery; Diagnosis; Neurology; Patient treatment; Infaction; Patient rehabilitation; adolescent; article; case report; clinical feature; heart atrium septum defect; heart tamponade; hemodynamic monitoring; human; male; paraplegia; postoperative complication; spinal cord infarction; spinal cord injury; Adolescent; Cardiac Tamponade; Humans; Infarction; Male; Paraplegia; Postoperative Complications; Spinal Cord; Treatment Outcomejournal article10.1097/00002060-200201000-00013118073372-s2.0-0036135871
