A rare case of spontaneous spinal subdural hematoma mimicked subarachnoid hemorrhage. The condition resolved spontaneously without surgery, highlighting diagnostic challenges and conservative management potential.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Spinal subdural hematoma (SSH) is a rare condition.
  • Clinical presentation can mimic other neurological emergencies like subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).

Observation:

  • A patient presented with clinical signs and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings suggestive of SAH.
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was crucial for accurate diagnosis of SSH.
  • Surgical decompression was considered but ultimately not performed.

Findings:

  • The patient's spinal compression resolved spontaneously within one week.
  • Conservative management was successful in this case of SSH.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering SSH in the differential diagnosis of spontaneous neurological deficits.

  • MRI is essential for differentiating SSH from SAH and other spinal pathologies.
  • The findings suggest that surgical intervention may not always be necessary for SSH, with potential for spontaneous resolution.
