A 79-year-old Chinese gentleman presented with unilateral acute lower limb ischaemia and received intra-arterial catheter-directed thrombolysis, initially with good result and reversal of the ischaemia. However, he developed an extensive spontaneous spinal epidural haematoma within hours of the procedure and was left with permanent paraplegia after being deemed unsuitable for decompressive spinal surgery. This report serves as a reminder of the risk of severe complications of catheter-directed thrombolysis by describing this rare but devastating side-effect that occurred even despite early detection from onset of symptoms.
