The incidence of neurologic complications arising from anticoagulant therapy, following epidural and subarachnoid catheterization in 3,164 and 847 patients, respectively, was determined. Twenty patients experienced minor neurologic complications or low back pain which was self-limiting and resolved with time. There was no incidence of peridural hematoma leading to spinal cord compression. This investigation shows that the occurrence of symptomatic hematomas following anticoagulation in patients with epidural or subarachnoid catheters is a very rare complication, assuming proper patient selection, an atraumatic technique, and appropriate monitoring of anticoagulant activity.
