Abstract
- Buerger's disease (thromboangiitis obliterans) is an inflammatory, nonatherosclerotic, occlusive disease of small- and medium-sized arteries and veins that involves distal vessels of the extremities. Patients show symptoms related to ischemia of distal lower extremities and upper extremities (claudication, gangrene, rest pain, distal cyanosis). We report a case of progressive ascending motor weakness of the lower extremities in a Buerger's disease patient due to a metastatic bone tumor on the T3 level after lumbar epidural block and continuous cervical epidural block.
