Two children with traumatic thoracic spinal epidural hematoma

Narayanam Anantha Sai Kiran et al. J Clin Neurosci. 2009 Oct.

Abstract

Traumatic spinal epidural hematomas in children are uncommon. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical evacuation is critical in these patients. We report two children with traumatic thoracic spine epidural hematomas with remarkable neurological recovery after surgical evacuation. Epidural hematoma with significant cord compression requires early diagnosis and emergency evacuation. This is crucial to expedite neurological recovery.
