Abstract
The authors report the case of a 64-year-old female renal transplant
patient who presented with acute onset of right lower extremity
weakness and urinary retention. Her imaging studies confirmed
a T11-12 paracentral disc herniation with spinal cord deformation
and myelomalacia with concomitant degenerative spondylolisthesis
at L4-5 resulting in epidural compression syndrome. Following
appropriate surgical intervention, she regained the ability urinate at
4 months following surgery, independent ambulation at 6 months,
and return to pre-injury activities one year following surgery.
