    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Spinal epidural hematomas, often linked to anticoagulation, can cause severe neurological deficits. Prompt diagnosis and surgical decompression lead to favorable outcomes in most patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is a rare but serious condition.
    • It can lead to significant neurological deficits, including paralysis and sphincter dysfunction.
    • Anticoagulant therapy is a known risk factor.

    Observation:

    • This report details three cases of SEH: one lumbar, one cervical, and one thoracic.
    • Two cases were associated with anticoagulant therapy; one was spontaneous.
    • The cervical case presented with an unusual anterior spinal cord syndrome, progressing to Brown-Séquard syndrome.

    Findings:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is effective for diagnosing SEH.
    • Surgical evacuation of the hematoma is the primary treatment.

  • Two of the three patients experienced complete neurological recovery postoperatively.

    • Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for improving outcomes in SEH.
    • Understanding the diverse clinical presentations, including rare syndromes, is important for timely management.
    • SEH management requires a multidisciplinary approach involving neurologists, neurosurgeons, and radiologists.
