Spontaneous spinal epidural hematomas (SEHs) due to the utilization of factor Xa inhibitors are rare.
A 66-year-old female presented with a Brown-Sequard syndrome attributed to a cervical epidural hematoma secondary to the utilization of rivaroxaban, one of the factor Xa inhibitors. Following a cervical laminectomy for the evacuation of the hematoma, the patient completely recovered.
A spinal hemorrhagic event should be suspected in patients receiving factor Xa inhibitor drugs. Here, we had an elderly female on rivaroxaban experienced the acute onset of neck/back pain associated with a Brown-Sequard syndrome. A literature review showed that this is the seventh example of SEH occurring as a result of the use of anticoagulation drugs (OACDs; e.g., including Xa inhibitors).
因使用Xa因子抑制剂导致的自发性脊髓硬膜外血肿(SEH)较为罕见。
一名66岁女性因使用Xa因子抑制剂之一的利伐沙班继发颈椎硬膜外血肿,出现布朗 - 色夸综合征。在进行颈椎椎板切除术以清除血肿后,患者完全康复。
接受Xa因子抑制剂药物治疗的患者应怀疑发生脊髓出血事件。在此,我们有一名服用利伐沙班的老年女性经历了与布朗 - 色夸综合征相关的颈部/背部疼痛急性发作。文献综述表明,这是因使用抗凝血药物(口服抗凝药;例如,包括Xa抑制剂)导致SEH的第七个病例。
