Paraplegia after coronary artery bypass is rare. We present here a rare case of acute paraplegia after coronary artery bypass due to cervical disc herniation. This patient further developed respiratory failure due to denervation of respiratory muscles, resulting in tetraplegia. Prompt diagnosis with MRI and surgical decompression should be performed, otherwise permanent neurological impairment may occur.
