Abstract
|
|
|
|
Spontaneous spinal epidural hematomas without any risk factors, such as spinal tap, trauma, pregnancy, bleeding diathesis, vascular malformations, hypertension, etc. are relatively rare clinical entities. In addition, the clinical suspicion is quite difficult because there are various clinical symptoms according to the size and location of hematoma. However, the speed of diagnosis and initiation of the appropriate treatment are important because the outcome for patients is usually determined by the location and degree of neurological deficits and the duration of dural compression. We report the diagnosis and treatment of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma in this case with a review of the relevant literature.
