Spontaneous cervical epidural hematoma is a rare cause of neck pain. Prompt diagnosis and treatment led to a favorable outcome for a patient with partial Brown-Sequard syndrome.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Spontaneous cervical epidural hematoma (SCEH) is an uncommon condition.
  • It can present with severe neck pain and neurological deficits.
  • Early diagnosis is crucial for favorable outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 64-year-old woman presented with acute neck pain.
  • She exhibited symptoms consistent with a partial Brown-Sequard syndrome.
  • Imaging revealed a spontaneous cervical epidural hematoma.

Findings:

  • The patient's neurological deficits were attributed to the cervical epidural hematoma.
  • The hematoma caused a partial Brown-Sequard syndrome.
  • Surgical decompression was considered, but conservative management was initiated.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering SCEH in patients with acute neck pain and neurological deficits.
  • Prompt recognition and management of SCEH can lead to significant neurological recovery.
  • Further research into the optimal management strategies for SCEH is warranted.
