Abstract
Ten cases of acute femoral neuropathy complicating anticoagulant therapy were followed over periods of 1-5 yr. Most patients had either sensory or motor residual symptoms, but the 2 patients who had early surgical intervention made rapid recoveries. The danger of parenteral injections or minor trauma to the abdomen, buttocks or thighs in patients receiving anticoagulant therapy was emphasized.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
