Herein, we present a 65-year-old male case who developed acute severe neck pain and headache on the third day of acute coronary syndrome treatment, followed by neurological deficits in bilateral upper and lower extremities.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Although spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma is a rare entity with an unknown origin, it may occur secondary to the use of anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet agents, which are particularly used for the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Since it occurs rarely and its initial symptoms are usually non-specific, early and accurate diagnosis can be challenging which affects survival rate and the quality of life.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Herein, we present a 65-year-old male case who developed acute severe neck pain and headache on the third day of acute coronary syndrome treatment, followed by neurological deficits in bilateral upper and lower extremities.
