A Case of Self-Resolving Femoral Nerve Palsy Due to Warfarin-Induced Psoas Hematoma

Abstract

Femoral nerve palsy is a rare condition in clinical practice, though the femoral nerve can be compressed anywhere along its long course. Retroperitoneal hematomas are one of the major complications of anticoagulant therapy and can cause compression on the femoral nerve. In this case, a 85-year-old male patient with femoral nerve palsy due to warfarin-induced spontaneous psoas haematoma was presented. Femoral nerve palsy is a rare condition in clinical practice, though the femoral nerve can be compressed anywhere along its long course.
