Cervical epidural hematoma after chiropractic spinal manipulation

Jason D Heiner. Am J Emerg Med. 2009 Oct.

Abstract

Spinal epidural hematoma is a rare but potentially devastating complication of spinal manipulation therapy. This is a case report of a healthy pregnant female who presented to the emergency department with a cervical epidural hematoma resulting from chiropractic spinal manipulation therapy that responded to conservative treatment rather than the more common route of surgical management.
