Abstract
Case description: 56-year-old transgender woman with new spinal cord injury (SCI) on gender affirming hormonal therapy (GAHT) with estrogen and spironolactone.
Findings: After her injury, estrogen and spironolactone were discontinued, for blood clots and hypotension, respectively. Alternative options were explored.
Clinical relevance: Little is known about GAHT in SCI for transgender women. Shared decision making should be used to navigate risks, benefits, and alternative options.
