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.
