Summary

Traumatic spinal subdural hematoma, though rare, can occur with intracranial hematomas. Some cases, particularly in the lumbar spine, may resolve spontaneously with conservative treatment, avoiding surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Traumatic spinal subdural hematoma is an uncommon condition with limited reported cases.
  • The co-occurrence of intracranial and spinal subdural hematomas in trauma patients is not well-documented.

Observation:

  • A case of a 12-year-old boy with concomitant intracranial and spinal subdural hematomas is presented.
  • Literature review of traumatic spinal subdural hematoma cases, including the presented case.

Findings:

  • Five out of nine patients with traumatic spinal subdural hematoma also had intracranial hematomas, suggesting a potential association.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is crucial for identifying spinal subdural hematomas and differentiating them from other spinal lesions.
  • While surgical decompression is often recommended, three of nine reported cases of thoracic or lumbar subdural hematoma showed spontaneous resolution with conservative management.

Implications:

  • The findings suggest a possible association between intracranial events and the mechanism of traumatic spinal subdural hematoma.
  • Conservative management may be a viable option for traumatic lumbar subdural hematoma, especially in patients showing neurological recovery.
  • Prompt recognition and appropriate management are essential to prevent irreversible spinal cord damage.
