Chronic spinal subdural hematomas (CSSDH) are rare, often spontaneous conditions. Despite a poor prognosis, CSSDH can be a reversible cause of paraplegia, highlighting the need for awareness and timely intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Chronic subdural hematomas (CSDH) are increasingly recognized due to improved imaging.
  • Chronic spinal subdural hematomas (CSSDH) are exceptionally rare, often linked to minor trauma or spontaneous events.
  • CSSDH can present as a treatable cause of paraplegia, challenging the notion of a universally poor prognosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the existing literature on chronic spinal subdural hematomas (CSSDH).
  • To detail the history, classification, clinical manifestations, and therapeutic strategies for CSSDH.
  • To emphasize CSSDH as a potentially reversible cause of paraplegia.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review.
  • Analysis of historical data and case reports.

  • Synthesis of information on clinical presentation and treatment outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • CSSDH are rare but increasingly identified with better diagnostic capabilities.
    • These hematomas can arise spontaneously or after minor trauma.
    • CSSDH is a potentially reversible cause of paraplegia, contrary to previous assumptions.

    Conclusions:

    • Chronic spinal subdural hematomas require careful consideration in the differential diagnosis of paraplegia.
    • Early recognition and appropriate management can lead to recovery.
    • Further research is warranted to fully understand the pathophysiology and optimize treatment of CSSDH.
