This document discusses the rare but devastating complication of epidural hematomas from neuraxial blocks. It focuses on the risk from clopidogrel, a drug that inhibits platelet aggregation. While the exact risk is unknown, guidelines recommend stopping clopidogrel 7 days before a procedure. The case report describes an 80-year-old woman who developed a T12/L1 epidural hematoma after inadvertently being given a clopidogrel dose 48 hours before her epidural was removed. Her neurology was not recovered despite a delayed diagnosis and treatment.
