Abstract
The article presents a case study of paraplegia after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Paraplegia as a complication of CABG is rare. The condition has been reported in patients with a history of peripheral vascular disease who experience severe hypertension during surgery. Cases of reversible paraplegia due to causes other than trauma have been reported.
