Acute spontaneous spinal extradural hematomas (SSEH) are rare but serious conditions causing motor weakness. Early diagnosis with MRI and emergent surgery are crucial for favorable outcomes in patients with SSEH.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Spinal extradural hematomas (SSEH) are uncommon, particularly spontaneous cases.
  • Acute onset paraparesis can be a presenting symptom of SSEH.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the presentation, imaging, and management of acute spontaneous spinal extradural hematomas (SSEH).
  • To identify factors influencing outcomes in patients with SSEH.

Main Methods:

  • Case series review of three adult female patients with thoracic SSEH.
  • Discussion of clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging (MRI), and surgical management.

Main Results:

  • All patients presented with motor weakness; one had complete recovery, one partial, and one no recovery.

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was the preferred diagnostic modality.
  • Favorable outcomes correlated with etiology, time to presentation, and neurological deficit severity.

    • Conclusions:

    • SSEH should be considered in acute paraparesis, with MRI as the diagnostic tool of choice.
    • Emergent surgical drainage is the recommended treatment for SSEH.
    • Patient outcomes are influenced by several key factors, including promptness of treatment.
