Spinal Epidural Hematoma
نویسنده
چکیده
Spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) comprises a heterogeneous group of disorders with the final common result of hemorrhage in the spinal epidural space. In this review, the English language literature on SEH is examined. SEH may be acute or chronic, spontaneous, posttraumatic, or iatrogenic. Its occurrence appears to be particularly associated with acquired coagulopathy from medications and disease states. Patients usually present with acute axial spine pain and evolving focal neurologic deficits. In that it is a potentially reversible cause of spinal cord and root compression, the prompt diagnosis and treatment of this relatively rare condition are of importance to all neurosurgeons. When accomplished rapidly, surgical decompression can result in full functional recovery.
