| Popis: |
Acute spontaneous spinal epidural haematoma is uncommon; however, it can result in permanent neurological damage if not promptly treated. It occurs very rarely during pregnancy. We report a case of acute spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma in a 34-year-old primigravida woman at 34 weeks’ gestation who presented with sudden back pain and paraplegia. Emergency spinal decompression surgery was done with the continuation of pregnancy. We discuss the presentation and management of the rare condition with a review of the literature. |
