Acute Spinal Subdural Hematoma in a Patient Taking Rivaroxaban
نویسندگان
چکیده
https://jkms.org We report a case of a middle-aged woman who took rivaroxaban and exhibited a dramatic deterioration in lower extremity motor function after being assaulted, during which she sustained injury to her face but not to her back or other areas of her body. She had atrial flutter and had been taking rivaroxaban for 3 years, but denied history of coagulopathy and spinal vascular malformation.

Non-Traumatic Spontaneous Spinal Subdural Hematoma in a Patient with Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation During Treatment with Rivaroxaban
BACKGROUND Spontaneous spinal subdural hematoma (SSDH) is a rare but disabling condition, accounting for only 4.1% of all intraspinal hematomas. Risk factors include arteriovenous malformations, coagulopathy, therapeutic anticoagulation, underlying neoplasms, or following spinal puncture. Vitamin K antagonists, antiplatelet agents, and heparinoids have been associated with SSDHs in prior report...
متن کاملRivaroxaban-Induced Nontraumatic Spinal Subdural Hematoma: An Uncommon Yet Life-Threatening Complication
In the last decade, the desire for safer oral anticoagulants (OACs) led to the emergence of newer drugs. Available clinical trials demonstrated a lower risk of OACs-associated life-threatening bleeding events, including intracranial hemorrhage, compared to warfarin. Nontraumatic spinal hematoma is an uncommon yet life-threatening neurosurgical emergency that can be associated with the use of th...

Subdural hematoma is a serious but rare complication of spinal anesthesia. A 70-year-old woman patient underwent elective total knee replacement under spinal anesthesia. At 4 days postoperatively, the patient complained of headache and vomiting. Brain computed tomography revealed an acute-on-chronic subdural hematoma with midline shift. The patient recovered completely after surgical decompress...
متن کاملSpontaneous Spinal Subdural Hematoma with Simultaneous Cranial Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Spontaneous spinal subdural hematoma is reported at a rare level of incidence, and is frequently associated with underlying coagulopathy or those receiving anticoagulant or antiplatelet agents; some cases accompany concomitant intracranial hemorrhage. The spontaneous development of spinal subdural hemorrhage (SDH) is a neurological emergency; therefore, early diagnosis, the discontinuation of a...
متن کاملAcute-on-chronic subdural haematoma: a rare complication after spinal anaesthesia.
An 88-year-old woman with an undiagnosed chronic subdural haematoma underwent emergency repair of a femoral hernia under spinal anaesthesia. The patient complained of headache postoperatively, and a subsequent computed tomography brain scan showed an acute-on-chronic subdural haematoma, with midline shift and impending coning. The patient recovered completely after surgical decompression. The d...
