Spinal epidural hematomas can occur spontaneously, causing paraplegia. Prompt surgical intervention is crucial for recovery and regaining mobility.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Spinal epidural hematomas (SEHs) are rare, often presenting with acute neurological deficits.
  • Spontaneous SEHs, without trauma or predisposing conditions, are particularly uncommon.

Observation:

  • Two cases of spontaneous high thoracic spinal epidural hematomas are presented.
  • Patients exhibited acute and subacute paraplegia without significant preceding trauma or medical history.

Findings:

  • Both patients achieved independent ambulation after prompt surgical decompression.
  • Timely diagnosis and surgical treatment are critical for favorable neurological outcomes.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering spontaneous SEH in the differential diagnosis of acute myelopathy.
