A sudden spinal cord compression syndrome in a hypertensive woman using beta-blockers caused tetraplegia. Surgical decompression and physiotherapy led to progressive motor and sensory recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal Cord Medicine

Background:

  • Spinal cord compression syndrome can present acutely.
  • Hypertension and beta-blocker use are common comorbidities.

Observation:

  • A 55-year-old woman with mild hypertension on beta-blockers experienced sudden cervical pain and tetraplegia.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed an extradural spinal hematoma at the cervical level with a C4 sensory deficit.

Findings:

  • Surgical laminectomy and hematoma aspiration were performed.
  • The patient demonstrated progressive motor and sensory improvement post-operatively.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing spinal cord compression.
