We report three cases of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) with hemiparesis. The first patient was a 73-year-old woman who presented with left hemiparesis, neck pain, and left shoulder pain. A cervical MRI scan revealed a left posterolateral epidural hematoma at the C3-C6 level. The condition of the patient improved after laminectomy and evacuation of the epidural hematoma. The second...

We report the first case of a young patient who presented with the features of Horner's syndrome following a spinal extradural hematoma resulting from a ruptured arterio-venous malformation (AVM). Since there were features of early compressive myelopathy as well, urgent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the spine revealed features suggestive of an extradural hematoma in the cervico-thora...

A 54-year-old male presented with spontaneous acute epidural hematoma in the ventral cervical spine. The neurological deficits gradually improved spontaneously before surgery commenced. Serial magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated disappearance of the hematoma. He was managed conservatively and was discharged without deficits about 1 month after onset. Immediate surgical decompression may not...

INTRODUCTION Subarachnoid hemorrhages of spinal origin are extremely rare during pregnancy. We present the case of a patient with hemolytic anemia, elevated liver enzymes and low platelet count (the so-called HELLP syndrome), a potentially life-threatening complication associated with pre-eclampsia, who presented with an idiopathic spinal subarachnoid hematoma. CASE PRESENTATION At 29 gestati...
