RESUMEN
Spinal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SSH) is a rare yet potentially devastating complication of neuraxial procedures. We present a case of SSH after inadvertent lumbar spinal drain removal while on clopidogrel. The contrast between the patient's mild clinical symptoms compared to his impressive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) highlights the variable presentations that can be seen with spinal and epidural hematomas. Despite sophisticated electronic warnings systems available to improve patient safety, better efforts are needed to improve interprofessional communication with providers taking care of patients with indwelling neuraxial catheters.
