Rapid and spontaneous resolution of cervical spinal epidural hematoma [Servikal spinal epidural hematomun hizli ve spontan rezolüsyonu]

Although prompt evacuation of the hematoma is generally the first treatment option for symptomatic spinal epidural hematoma (she),rapid and spontaneous resolution of seh in clinical and radiological findings is rarely observed. here,we describe a case of post-traumatic cervical seh that resolved within 19 hours,as observed by computed tomography (ct) and magnetic resonance imaging (mri),without any surgical intervention. to the best of our knowledge,no case of spontaneous resolution of seh within 1 day has been reported. this case presented here shows that immediate surgical intervention may not always be necessary for some post-traumatic seh without neurological deficit. if conservative treatment of seh is considered,it is critical to ensure adequate neurological observation and follow-up mri,with the option of performing surgery at any time.
