ABSTRACT

This is the case of a man suffered of a bilateral hematoma of psoas-iliac muscles as a consequence of warfarin treatment. After 6 days od analgesic treatment, values of INR lower than 1,5 and bleeding control warfarin was prescribed to continue the prophylaxis by mechanical valvular prosthesis. He was discharged with motor sequelae due to femoral neuropathy maintained with a physiotherapy treatment. A neuropathy by compression of femoral nerve due to hematoma of psoas-iliac muscles was diagnosed. The cases of retroperitoneal hematomas are scarce in medical literature and in Cuba there were not published cases.
