Chronic spinal subdural hematomas are rare conditions, often resulting from various medical issues. Early diagnosis through imaging is crucial for timely surgical intervention and improved patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Spinal subdural hematomas are rare, with chronic forms being exceptionally uncommon.
  • Associated causes include lumbar puncture, spinal trauma, coagulopathies, vascular malformations, and tumors.

Observation:

  • Patients present with progressive back or radicular pain, paraparesis, and sphincter dysfunction due to spinal cord or cauda equina compression.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging reveals thoracic or lumbar subdural masses with age-dependent signal intensity.

Findings:

  • This report details the clinical course and diagnostic imaging findings in three cases of chronic spinal subdural hematoma.
  • The study highlights the diagnostic utility of magnetic resonance imaging in identifying these rare lesions.

Implications:

  • Prompt diagnosis and surgical decompression are essential for managing spinal subdural hematomas to prevent irreversible neurological deficits.
  • Understanding the varied presentations and imaging characteristics aids in the timely diagnosis of these uncommon hematomas.
