Femoral neuropathy complicating anticoagulant therapy.

Abstract

A twenty-six year old white male on long-term sodium warfarin (Coumadin therapy for recurrent thrombophlebitis had sudden onset of severe groin pain, right iliac hematoma, and a femoral nerve palsy. A review of the twelve previously reported cases of this hemorrhagic complication indicates that immediate surgical decompression may be necessary to prevent residual disability.
