Spontaneous resolved cervical spine epidural hematoma: A case report

Abstract

Few studies document the efficacy of conservative treatment of CSEH. In this case, a patient with cervical myelopathy presented with a mild quadriparesis following chiropractic manipulation. Although MR documented a CSEH, she refused surgery, but fortunately improved neurologically within the next 4 days and was intact within 1 postoperative month. We recommend performing more powerful studies with large sample size to better define criteria for conservative vs. surgical treatment of CSEH.
