Spontaneous spinal epidural haematoma. A case report.
R. Rispoli,R. Mastrostefano +1 more
TL;DR: The case of a 60-year-old man who presented sudden paraplegia is described, with an epidural mass extending from T11 to L1, causing spinal cord compression, and a significant improvement of neurologic deficits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spinal epidural heamatoma in Haemophilia A
TL;DR: A 27‐year‐old male Caucasian with severe Haemophilia A who presented with acute onset of neck pain with cervical nerve root irritation, due to a spinal epidural heamatoma is reported on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma in a 4-month-old infant.
TL;DR: The first youngest infant of a 4-month-old boy with spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma in cervicothoracic spine is presented, showing prompt surgical decompression is valuable, irrespective of the time interval between symptom onset and operation in infant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nine cases of nontraumatic spinal epidural hematoma.
TL;DR: The most important factors influencing postoperative recovery were the preoperative neurological condition of the patient and the interval from onset of deficit until the operation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous spinal epidural haematoma in a geriatric patient on aspirin.
TL;DR: The case highlights the significance of clinical suspicion, especially in those patients on anti-platelet therapy, rapid spinal radiography and emergent decompressive surgery in SSEH patients, as well as the importance of ongoing rehabilitation in restoring neurological function.

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.

Spontaneous cervical epidural hemorrhage, anterior cord syndrome, and familial vascular malformation Case report
TL;DR: Complete motor tetraplegia with incomplete sensory loss was caused by spontaneous epidural bleeding from an arteriovenous malformation in the cervical region.
