Abstract
A case report of transverse myelopathy following an intra-arterial injection of a viscid antibiotic is presented. Direct distribution of the material to the capillary bed best explains the patient's findings. Treatment of this complication is unsatisfactory, but it can be prevented by giving injections in the lateral thigh in the manner described.
