Spontaneous cervical epidural hematoma presenting as quadriparesis: A case report in compliance with the SCARE guidelines.

ABSTRACT: Spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is a rare disease. Several pathologies have been described as a cause, including trauma, arteriovenous malformations, coagulopathies, and iatrogenic causes. Spontaneous spinal epidural hematomas (SSEH) are blood in the spinal extradural space without a known cause. The incidence of SSEH has been estimated as 0.1 per 100,000 per year. Herein, we report a case of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma in the cervical spine. We report a 57-year-old male patient who presented with sudden axial neck pain associated with upper and lower extremities weakness. Symptoms were precipitated by coughing. MRI of the cervical spine revealed an extradural lesion compressing the dorsal aspect of the spinal cord from C4 - C7. He underwent urgent decompressive laminectomy and evacuation of the hematoma.

Spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundSpontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma is defined as bleeding in the retroperitoneal space without any triggers such as trauma, invasive procedures, and abdominal aortic aneurysm.Case presentationA 48-year-old Japanese man who experienced sudden abdominal pain, severe hypotension, and decreased hemoglobin was diagnosed with spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed massive left retroperitoneal hematoma; however, neither extravasation nor causative aneurysm was noted. Through conservative management with close monitoring, he was treated and discharged on the tenth hospital day without any morbidity.ConclusionsSpontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma treatment comprises conservative management, transcatheter arterial embolization, and surgical intervention. The mortality rate of spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma is so high that the optimal treatment timing needs to be carefully judged on the basis of detailed evaluation, and management algorithm with clear criteria.

Cervical Ligamentum Flavum Hematoma: A Case Report.

Project description:Study Design Case report. Objective To report the first case of ligamentum flavum hematoma after cervical spine instrumentation 11 years after the index surgery. Methods After performing bilateral C3 and C4 laminectomy, we observed a dark greenish discoloration over the ligamentum flavum, which was opened. We evacuated 15 mL of subacute hematoma. Results The first ligamentum flavum hematoma of the cervical spine that occurred after spinal instrumentation with sublaminar hooks. Conclusion Ligamentum flavum hematoma might happen even after a long delay (in our case, 11 years) from spinal instrumentation (sublaminar hooks). In symptomatic patients, evacuation is the treatment of choice. In cases of instrument adhesion to the surrounding intracanal tissues, removal should be done meticulously after performing a complete release.

Spinal epidural hematoma in antiphospholipid syndrome: case report and review of the literature.

Project description:IntroductionSpinal epidural hematomas are a surgical emergency, the delay in diagnosis can develop devastating sequelae due to its acute and progressive course. If not treated properly, it may lead to death or permanent neurological deficit. It is a rare condition that can occur in patients with hematologic pathology.Case presentationWe report a case report and literature review of a patient with antiphospholipid syndrome, who undergoes a diagnostic lumbar puncture for probable fungal meningitis. Developed a spinal acute epidural hematoma with neurological involvement that is evidenced in MRI. Urgent surgical decompression was performed with good results.DiscussionDespite the low incidence of an epidural hematoma in patients who undergo lumbar puncture, it is important to perform a thorough evaluation in any patient with coagulation abnormalities prior and after a lumbar puncture, by reason of the inherent possibility of developing an epidural hematoma at the site of the procedure. In the same way, early diagnosis and aggressive treatment is necessary in patients who develop progressive neurological symptoms to limit the damage and improve the prognosis for neurological recovery.

Subacute phase treatment of subperiosteal hematoma of the orbit with epidural hematoma in the frontal cranial fossa: case report.

Project description:BackgroundSubperiosteal hematoma of the orbit is one of the rare lesions that cause exophthalmos after craniomaxillofacial trauma. Presently, there is no consensus for how to treat this disease. Although some reports have suggested a conservative type of therapy, others have recommended surgical treatments be done during the early stages.Case presentationThis case report provides details on the clinical course of a 9-year-old girl with subperiosteal hematoma of the orbit. In this particular patient, a rare case of ipsilateral subfrontal extradural hematoma was also observed. Due to our performing the surgical intervention during the subacute stage, functional complications as well as cosmetic problems were avoided.ConclusionOur results demonstrate that surgical treatments for subperiosteal hematoma of the orbit should be delayed until it can be confirmed that a patient has no other complications. On the other hand, once it has been confirmed that the patient has no other existing problems, immediate surgical therapy with a small skin incision followed by the setting of a drain is recommended in order to achieve an early resolution and avoid complications.

Spinal epidural hematoma caused by pseudogout: a case report and literature review.

Project description:Study Design Case report. Objective We present the first reported case of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma secondary to calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease (pseudogout) in a 75-year-old woman. Methods A retrospective review of the patient's case notes was undertaken and the limited literature on this subject reviewed. Results This patient presented with sudden-onset lower limb paresis, sensory loss, urinary retention, and back pain. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an epidural hematoma, which was evacuated. Histologic specimens of the clot showed calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposits (pseudogout). Conclusion The importance of histopathologic review of surgical specimens is highlighted when considering the differential diagnosis of apparently spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma.

Spontaneous spinal epidural hematomas: One case report and rehabilitation outcome.

Project description:Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) is a relatively rare but potentially disabling disease, and the classical presentation of it includes an acute onset of severe, sometimes radiating back or neck pain, followed by signs and symptoms of rapidly evolving nerve root or spinal cord compression.Here, we report a 26-year-old female patient presented with weakness in bilateral lower extremities, progressing to intense paraplegia and anesthesia without recent medical history of trauma, infection, surgery, or drug use.A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of spinal cord was planned and a posterior epidural hematoma of the thoracic spine was observed.A posterior decompression and hematoma evacuation was performed after diagnosis immediately. Early rehabilitation program of the specific kind spinal cord injury was formulated and implemented.The patient finally can handle basic living activities, such as completing wheelchair locomotion, transferring from bed to wheelchair independently after 3 months of rehabilitation.SSEH is a rarely occurring case in emergency. Acute chest pain and paraplegia could be the initial presentation of acute spinal epidural hemorrhage, but the diagnosis of patient without classical manifestations is still a challenge for doctors. Early diagnosis, prompt decompression, and individualized rehabilitation program can improve the prognosis and outcome.

Post traumatic dural sinus thrombosis following epidural hematoma: Literature review and case report.

Project description:Dural sinus thrombosis following a head trauma is a rare condition, described in literature along with the lack of consensus regarding diagnosis and management. We present a case of a fifty-year-old man with a head injury and combined supratentorial-subtentorial epidural hematoma who was treated conservatively through the administration of low molecular weight heparin. The diagnosis and management of this condition are discussed based on a literature review. The early diagnosis may prevent potentially treatable poor outcomes.

Full endoscopic treatment of unusual spontaneous degenerative epidural cyst: A case report.

Project description:BackgroundExtensive studies have been performed about the synovial cyst and intraspinal extradural ganglion cyst. Here, we describe a new type of the cyst with entirely different histological characteristics, which we are now calling a "Spontaneous Degenerative Epidural Cyst."Case descriptionA 74-year-old male presented with low back pain, bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy, and a cauda equina syndrome. He exhibited a partial left foot drop (Grade 3/5) and hypoesthesia in the sacral region. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed two cysts at the L4-L5 level; Cyst I was in the left foramen and Cyst II was within the epidural space between the dura and ligamentum flavum. Cyst I was removed through an endoscopic transforaminal approach; it originated from the left facet joint and with synovial lining was confirmed to be a synovial cyst. Cyst II required an endoscopic interlaminar approach, and pathology revealed granulation tissue with micro-calcification, woven bone formation, hemosiderin pigment, and focal cystic change consistent with our designation "Spontaneous Degenerative Epidural Cyst."Conclusion"Spontaneous Degenerative Epidural cyst" should be considered among the differential diagnostic consideration for the different lumbar cysts. High-resolution MRI is the most useful in diagnosing these lesions, while full endoscopic treatment provides for adequate resection of these lesions.
