Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma mimicking acute coronary syndrome: A case report and literature review
This case underscores the diagnostic challenges of SSEH presenting with atypical chest symptoms. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for spinal pathology in patients with axial pain and evolving neurological deficits, even when initial cardiac evaluations are suggestive of ACS. Timely spinal imaging is critical to avoid harmful interventions and enable prompt surgical treatment.
