Cervical epidural hematomas can present atypically and evolve slowly. Early surgical decompression is key for excellent outcomes in these rare spinal cord conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Cervical epidural hematomas are rare, often presenting with acute symptoms.
  • Previous literature suggests a generally rapid clinical course.

Observation:

  • Two cases of cervical epidural hematoma with atypical subacute presentations were successfully treated surgically.
  • These cases highlight variability in clinical evolution, including slow progression.

Findings:

  • Cervical epidural hematomas exhibit more diverse clinical presentations and evolutionary patterns than previously documented.
  • Slowly evolving forms and spontaneous resolution are possible, challenging traditional understanding.

Implications:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred diagnostic modality for accurate identification.
