Abstract
Late Retroperitoneal Haematoma after Psoas Compartment Block for Total Hip Arthroplasty
Highlights
The increasing demand for hip arthroplasty over the last decades has sparked the creation of new and innovative aesthetic techniques and analgesic pathways with the aim to support best possible outcomes in this elderly patient population
A growing number of studies indicate that neuraxial anesthesia may prove beneficial to patients undergoing major joint replacement [1]
We present a case of a retroperitoneal hematoma without lumbar neuropathy after psoas compartment block (PCB), in a 70 years old woman who underwent total hiparthroplastyon left side
Summary
Post-operative anemia may be a compelling problem, sometimes sudden, of difficult diagnosis, that may be enhanced by underlying medical conditions, and that may influence therapeutic choices. Case report: We present a case of sudden anemia (from 10.2 pt. to 7.3 pt. of HB in two days), after a total hip arthroplasty, performed under combined spinal and peripheral anesthesia, in a 70 years old woman who suffered from a coagulation disorder due to a rare genetic mutation (homozygosis for MTHFR C677T)
