Epidural venous thrombosis as differential diagnosis in back pain patients

Abstract: Epidural venous thrombosis is a rare clinical entity with a characteristic constellation of findings in contrast-enhanced MRI, which should be considered in the differential diagnosis in the case of clinical symptoms that are initially indicative of disc herniation. The most important distinctive feature between epidural venous thrombosis and disc herniation is their topographical location in relation to the vertebral venous plexus. Particularly where morphological imaging shows a space-occupying lesion in clo… Show more

“…In most humans with epidural vein thrombosis, back pain or radiculopathy is also the sole clinical sign. Nervous structures compression by dilated vessels is supposed to be the main physiopathological mechanism of pain 11–14 . In the present canine case, dural sac and spinal cord appeared severely to moderately compressed by the dilation of the ventral IVVP and could have contributed to the pain.…”

“…Nervous structures compression by dilated vessels is supposed to be the main physiopathological mechanism of pain. [11][12][13][14] In the present canine case, dural sac and spinal cord appeared severely to moderately compressed by the dilation of the ventral IVVP and could have contributed to the pain. Thus, proximal cervical intervertebral foramens were entirely filled by dilated intervertebral veins, possibly leading to impingement of nerve roots and spinal nerves, generating pain.…”

“…The range of activities could be gradually increased, but the strength was controlled within the patient's tolerance [ 16 ]. Prevention of the occurrence of lower extremity venous injury: during intravenous infusion, upper limb venipuncture can be chosen and healthy limb puncture can be selected for patients with hemiplegia [ 17 ]. For patients with long-term infusion, intravenous indwelling needle could be used.…”
