Spinal epidural hematoma and the Brown‐Séquard syndrome

SPONTANEOUS spinal epidural hematomas occur rarely. In this syndrome, the sudden onset of back pain is followed by weakness and sensory loss below the level of the hematoma. The neurological deficit usually evolves within a few hours, but the full extent may not be evident for several days. Early recognition is mandatory since prompt surgical evacuation of the hematoma is required to alleviate the neurological deficit. The purpose of this report is to describe a spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma that caused the Brown-Shquard syndrome, a n association not previously described, and to document that an extramedullary lesion can be a cause of the Brown-Skquard syndrome.
