Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Spinal subarachnoid hemorrhage is uncommon.
  • Spinal subarachnoid hematoma formation is rare due to cerebrospinal fluid dilution of blood.
  • This report details a rare case of spontaneous spinal subarachnoid hematoma.

Observation:

  • A 66-year-old female presented with acute back pain and paraplegia.
  • MRI revealed a T2-T6 mass compressing the spinal cord anteriorly.
  • Surgical exploration identified a subarachnoid hematoma from T2 to T6 without an identifiable source.

Findings:

  • The patient experienced significant recovery, walking independently within 20 days post-operation.
  • No source of hemorrhage was identified during surgery.

Implications:

  • Optimal outcomes depend on prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention.
  • Early and complete surgical evacuation of spinal subarachnoid hematoma is emphasized.
  • Factors influencing outcome include symptom onset to operation time, preoperative neurological status, and symptom progression rate.
