Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Traumatology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Traumatic injuries can lead to neurological deficits.
  • Spinal subdural hematomas are rare but serious complications of trauma.
  • Prompt diagnosis and intervention are crucial for patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 74-year-old female presented with lower extremity weakness following a motor vehicle accident.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) identified a lumbar spinal subdural hematoma at the L4-L5 level.
  • The hematoma was identified on the seventh post-traumatic day.

Findings:

  • Surgical evacuation of the lumbar spinal subdural hematoma was performed.
  • The patient experienced a complete neurological recovery post-surgery.
