Özet

Postoperative spinal epidural hematomas are rarely seen and mostly asymptomatic. Urgent surgery is advised in case of the occurrence of neurologic deterioration. Here, we presented two cervical spinal surgery case reports and literature review. In the first case, after anterior cervical microdiscectomy and cage fusion operation, a 35-year-old male patient had paresis because of the cervical epidural hematoma. In the second case, an 85-year-old male patient had multilevel surgery of cervical posterior screw stabilization and posterior laminectomy. In early period, tetraparesis occurred because of large cervicothoracic epidural hemorrhage. The patients’ neurologic deficits were improved without surgery.
