Abstract
✓ Subarachnoid hematoma after lumbar puncture is extremely rare, even in patients with thrombocytopenia or other bleeding disorders. The authors report the case of a patient with acute leukemia and thrombocytopenia who developed paraplegia due to a subarachnoid hematoma following lumbar puncture. He recovered after an emergency laminectomy. If a subarachnoid hematoma occurs in a thrombocytopenic patient, prompt surgical treatment, in addition to intensive platelet support, can reverse the severe neurological consequences.
