Abstract

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) is recommended as a first choice in the treat-ment of kidney stone larger than 2 cm with acceptable complication rate, high success rate and high postoperative patient comfort. Fever, bleeding, urine leakage are the most frequent complications of PNL. Paraplegia following PNL is a very rare complication. In this present study, paraplegia due to vaso-spasm of Adamkiewicz artery following PNL was reported.

Keywords: Adamkiewicz artery, Para-plegia, Percutaneous nephrolithotomy
