“…Six prior cases of spinal epidural hematoma causing BSS have been described in the English literature. Two cases were related to trauma [8,9]; 2, to coagulopathy [10,11]; and 2, to hypertension without other risk factors [3,12]. In the current patient, spinal epidural hematoma was due to a hemangioma, the only case for which MRI was used for diagnosis.…”

“… 10 11 The prognosis appears to be related to the severity of the preoperative neurological deficit and many early reports suggest an early operation for rapid decompression as crucial. 12 Lawton et al , confirmed the relationship between neurological recovery, the timing of surgery and the preoperative neurological status. 13 However, subsequent reports indicate that the course of the disease is relatively benign in many cases especially in young patients even with conservative treatment.…”

Spontaneous cervical epidural hematoma: Report of a case managed conservatively

et al. 2008

Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma is a rare cause of acute spinal cord compression. A 25-year-old male presented with a history of sudden onset of complete quadriplegia with sensory loss below the neck along with loss of bowel and bladder control. He had no history of any constitutional symptoms. He reported 10 days later. He was managed conservatively and after two weeks of intensive rehabilitation he had complete neural recovery.The spontaneous recovery of neurological impairment is attributed to the spreading of the hematoma throughout the epidural space, thus decreasing the pressure with partial neural recovery.Conservative treatment is a fair option in young patients who present late and show neurological improvement. The neurological status on presentation will guide the further approach to management.

“…There are very few reports in the literature mentioning Brown-Sequard syndrome with cervical epidural hematoma (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)). An extensive review of 613 case studies published between 1826 and 1996 by Kreppel et al found only 17 reported instances of Brown-Sequard syndrome due to spinal epidural hematoma (5).…”
