Exploring Spinal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Neurosurgical Case Series

Spinal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SSAH) is a rare condition that can cause spinal cord or nerve root compression and permanent neurologic damage. The reported etiologies include trauma, vascular malformations aneurysms, coagulopathies, neoplasms, autoimmune disease, spontaneous hemorrhage. If there evidence of deterioration, it commonly managed as surgical emergency, but cases conservative management have also been reported. In this case series, we present three patients who suffered from SSAH. first was cervical SSAH occurred following cardiac catheterization, the second thoracolumbar in patient with known history coagulopathy, third caused by dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF). All exhibited deficits thus underwent emergent decompression hematoma evacuation. dAVF required open ligation fistula. Following intervention, all regained at least partial function, one developed symptomatic arachnoid cysts further intervention. presented series highlights importance time-sensitivity experiencing These underscore urgency timely neurosurgical intervention to mitigate impairment add insights existing literature on condition.
