Journal Title: Nepal Journal of Neuroscience - Year 2010, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
This is a rare case of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma presented to us with gradual weakness of all four limbs, respiratory distress and bladder dysfunction. This 57 year-old man was intubated and ventilated initially. After confirmation of diagnosis by MRI he underwent Laminectomy and evacuation of haematoma. At 2 months follow up he was off tracheostomy with improved neurological status. Only few published cases were found on this topic. Other cases showed a similar presentation and prognosis after same treatment.
