Myelopathy caused by chronic epidural hematoma associated with l1 osteoporotic vertebral collapse: a case report and review of the literature.

TLDR
A case of myelopathy caused by chronic epidural hematoma associated with L1 osteoporotic vertebral collapse is reported and the relevant literature is reviewed.
Abstract
Epidural hematoma associated with osteoporotic vertebral collapse has not been reported yet in the literature. We report a case of myelopathy caused by chronic epidural hematoma associated with L1 osteoporotic vertebral collapse and review the relevant literature.

Surgical techniques for osteoporotic vertebral collapse with delayed neurological deficits: A systematic review

TL;DR: Although the optimal treatment has not been determined for patients of OVC with DND in this study, the analysis could provide guidance for choosing an appropriate approach and it is believed that individualized surgical approach should be introduced based on the clinical characteristics of each patient.

Delayed neurological deficits induced by an epidural hematoma associated with a thoracic osteoporotic compression fracture.

TL;DR: A 79-year-old woman developed neurological deficits 6 weeks after the onset of a thoracic osteoporotic compression fracture and acute decompressive laminectomy and percutaneous vertebroplasty were performed, and follow-up MR imaging showed complete resolution of the hematoma.

Chronic Spinal Epidural Hematoma Related to Kummell's Disease

TL;DR: An 82-year-old woman who had been managed conservatively for seven weeks with the diagnosis of a multi-level osteoporotic compression fracture, and a percutaneous vertebroplasty was performed, showed a nearly complete resolution of the hematoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Refracture of Kummell Disease Combined with Huge Epidural Hematoma After Minor Trauma.

TL;DR: Although rare, the possibility of refracture of Kummell disease and spinal epidural hematoma should be kept in mind in patients with osteoporotic fractures.

Surgical management of spinal epidural hematoma: relationship between surgical timing and neurological outcome

TL;DR: This large series of SEH demonstrates that rapid diagnosis and emergency surgical treatment maximize neurological recovery, however, patients with complete neurological lesions or long-standing compression can improve substantially with surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Operative treatment of spontaneous spinal epidural hematomas : a study of the factors determining postoperative outcome

TL;DR: The critical factors for recovery after spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma are the level of preoperative neurological deficit and the operative interval, which suggests that local compression, rather than vascular obstruction, is the main factor in producing neurological deficit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preoperative neurological status in predicting surgical outcome of spinal epidural hematomas

TL;DR: The postoperative progress of 3 patients with spinal epidural hemorrhage, but without spinal fracture or dislocation, is presented and the absence of motor or sensorimotor functions preoperatively does not necessarily indicate a poor prognosis.

The treatment of osteoporotic posttraumatic vertebral collapse using the kaneda device and a bioactive ceramic vertebral prosthesis

TL;DR: Twenty-two patients with neurologic deficit due to delayed posttraumatic vertebral collapse after osteoporotic compression fractures of the thoracolumbar spine underwent anterior decompression and reconstruction with bioactive Apatite-Wollastonite containing glass ceramic vertebral prosthesis and Kaneda instrumentation.
