Abstract

A 3-day-old neonate became acutely and irreversibly paraplegic below L1/L2 after umbilical artery catheterization. The paraplegia was attributed to infarction of the spinal cord because of thrombosis of the artery of Adamkievicz or injection of drugs through the catheter into the spinal cord circulation. Catheterization of a more peripheral artery or placement of the umbilical catheter tip at a lower level in the aorta may prevent similar complications.
