Paraplegia after percutaneous nephrolithotomy: A rare clinical entity

Abstract

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) is recommended as a first choice in the treatment of kidney stone larger than 2 cm with acceptable complication rate, high success rate and high postoperative patient comfort. Fever, bleeding, urine leakage are the most frequent complications of PNL. Paraplegia following PNL is a very rare complication. In this present study, paraplegia due to vasospasm of Adamkiewicz artery following PNL was reported.
