Özet
Anticoagulant drugs are used to reduce the incidence thromboembolic events in patients at risk. However, minor and major bleeding complications may occur during anticoagulation therapy. Femoral neuropathy secondary to retroperitoneal hematoma is a well known complication of anticoagulant drugs. However, treatment of these patients is still controversial, both conservative and surgical treatments have been advocated. Herein, we report a male patient receiving warfarin for 7 years who developed femoral neuropathy due to retroperitoneal hematoma and was successfully treated with conservative methods. We suggest that conservative treatment and appropriate rehabilitation program should be given to the patients who do not demonstrate any signs of a continued bleeding and any progressive neurological deficits.
