Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma in children: a case report and literature review
SSEH in children is a very rare neurosurgical emergency disease. Prompt and proper examination is essential to establish the diagnosis and early surgical decompression. Adequate surgical decompression may reduce intradural pressure and increase the blood perfusion to the spinal cord, thus, this will eventually reduce ischemia and prevent secondary spinal injury. As a result, complete recovery can be expected.
