Abstract
This report describes a case where a continuous lumbar epidural anesthesia was inserted for an operation in a patient with classical hemophilia which was unknown at the time of catheter insertion. In addition to an exact description of the intervention, the anamnesis and laboratory contraindications for epidural anesthesia are discussed. Furthermore, the necessity of preoperative investigations and their value when an epidural anesthesia is planned are also discussed.Entities:
