An unusual case of recurrent traumatic spinal epidural hematoma accompanied by osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures: Case report
SEH is a rare clinical finding that can occur even after a minor trauma in the elderly. It is worth noting that osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures with asymptomatic or stable intraspinal hematoma, is not considered to be a contraindication for percutaneous vertebroplasty. And percutaneous vertebroplasty is a safe and effective treatment for osteoporotic compression fractures with asymptomatic SEH.
