Abstract EN
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 patient was a 62-year-old man who presented with right hemiparesis and neck pain.
A cervical MRI scan revealed a right posterolateral dominant epidural hematoma at the C6-T1 level.
The condition of the patient improved after laminectomy and evacuation of the epidural hematoma.
The third patient was a 60-year-old woman who presented with left hemiparesis and neck pain.
A cervical MRI scan revealed a left posterolateral epidural hematoma at the C2–C4 level.
The condition of the patient improved with conservative treatment.
The classical clinical presentation of SSEH is acute onset of severe irradiating back pain followed by progression to paralysis, whereas SSEH with hemiparesis is less common.
Our cases suggest that acute cervical spinal epidural hematoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with clinical symptoms of sudden neck pain and radicular pain with progression to hemiparesis.
