Abstract
An acute spinal cord compression can very rarely cause a spinal epidural hematoma. The functional recovery will be the highest if early detection and prompt surgical management are undertaken. The conservative management was successful in the present case of the cervical epidural hematoma with lesser neurodeficits and smaller hematoma size with minimal cord compression. The patient had no neurodeficit at the end of 7 days.
