Abstract
Spontaneously occurring spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is a relatively rare disease. It is frequently observed in cervicothoracic and thoracolumbar regions. They require emergency surgical intervention as they may lead to serious and permanent neurological damage. On the other hand, rare cases with mild neurological findings, which resolve without surgical intervention have also been reported in the literature. In this paper, spontaneous resolution of SEH in day 20 was reported which was observed in a 72-year old male patient with history of hypertension.
Özet
Spontan oluşan spinal epidural hematom (SEH) nispeten ender görülen bir hastalıktır. Sıklıkla servikotorakal ve to- rakolomber bölgede gözlenirler. Ciddi ve kalıcı nörolojik hasara neden olduklarından acil cerrahi müdahale gerek- tirirler. Bunun yanında nörolojik bulguları hafif seyredip, ilerlemeyen ve cerrahi yapılmaksızın düzelen az sayıda ol- guda literatürde bildirilmiştir. Bu makalede, hipertansiyon öyküsü bulunan 72 yaşında erkek hastada gelişen Spontan SEH un 20 gün sonra spontan rezolüsyonu ele alınmıştır.
