Pressure ulcers are common among patients with spinal cord disorders (SCD) and occur due to unrelieved pressure on soft tissues. CASE REPORTS: Two ladies with paraplegia following acute transverse myelitis developed pressure ulcers over medial aspects of thighs due to indwelling urethral catheter. Absence of sensation, weakness of both legs and lack of knowledge about catheter care contributed to ulcer formation. CONCLUSION: Indwelling urethral catheter may unusually result in pressure ulcers over the thighs in patients with SCD. Among health professionals involved in the care of these subjects awareness is essential for preventing this complication.
