Tetraplegia following parathyroidectomy in two long-term haemodialysis patients
Anaesthesia, 08/12/09

Mercieri M et al. – The authors report two cases of postoperative iatrogenic tetraparesis, which occurred in different hospitals after surgery for parathyroidectomy. Both patients were on long–term haemodialysis. The prolonged neck extension usually required by this procedure was probably the main factor involved in the genesis of the spinal cord injury. Spinal abnormalities associated with chronic renal failure may have made these patients more vulnerable.
