Spontaneous spinal epidural haematoma (SSEH) is a rare clinical entity that generally requires an urgent surgical evacuation. The combination of Brown-Séquard syndrome (BSS) and Horner's syndrome (HS) as the presenting symptoms of a traumatic spinal epidural haematoma is very unusual, but it has never been observed in cases of spontaneous haematoma. We herein describe a case of SSEH presenting with simultaneous BSS and HS. The possibility of a conservative management in similar cases is discussed.
自发性脊髓硬膜外血肿(SSEH)是一种罕见的临床病症,通常需要紧急手术清除血肿。布朗 - 色夸综合征(BSS)和霍纳综合征(HS)同时作为外伤性脊髓硬膜外血肿的首发症状极为罕见,但在自发性血肿病例中从未观察到过。我们在此描述一例同时出现BSS和HS的SSEH病例。并讨论了类似病例采用保守治疗的可能性。
