Popis: Paraplegia after spine surgery is a catastrophic complication. Here, we present a patient who, following laminectomy and fusion for decompression of metastatic tumor, developed paraplegia. We tried to find out the possible reason for the paraplegia. Due to prolonged hypotension during operation and new onset of pneumothorax, we think that intraoperative prolonged hypotension leads to the spinal cord ischemia which may cause neurological deterioration of paraplegia. Maintaining hemodynamic stability during spinal surgery is very important.
