Journal ArticleDOI

An elderly patient who developed spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma during warfarin therapy.

TL;DR: A rare case of an 80-year-old man who developed cervical SSEH during warfarin therapy is presented, and immediate magnetic resonance imaging is essential for early diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk factors in iatrogenic spinal cord injury

TL;DR: A statistically significant association between a patient history of depression and iatrogenic spinal cord injury was found as well as with anticoagulant and antiplatelet drug use prior to iatrogensic spinal Cord injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spontaneous spinal extradural hematomas.

TL;DR: Three patients who presented with acute spontaneous spinal extradural hematomas (SSEH) were adult women with thoracic SSEH and all had motor weakness prior to surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic spontaneous cervicothoracic epidural hematoma in an 8-month-old infant.

TL;DR: The case is presented to highlight the significance of recognizing this chronic spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma from a vascular malformation and discuss the diagnosis, treatment options and prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute postoperative cervical spinal epidural hematoma

TL;DR: Acute postoperative cervical spinal epidural hematoma is a rare cause of postoperative neurological deterioration and Hypertensive disease and the method of multilevel cervical surgery appear to increase bleeding and predict formation of hematomas.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
