Spontaneous intramedullary hematoma in a patient with COVID‐19 infection: A case report

Abstract

A 73‐year‐old man experienced four limb paresthesia and weakness following severe COVID‐19 pneumonia. EMG‐NCS showed inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy pattern while cervicothoracic imaging showed hematomyelia. The patient underwent laminectomy and hematoma evacuation. Neurological status improved to ASIA score C, postoperatively.

Giant haematoma of the posterior compartment of thigh in a patient with coronavirus disease 19 pneumonia and pulmonary embolism – Case Report

“…However, patients with COVID-19 often experience bleeding of different etiologies and locations [7,8,9,10,11,12]. The major risk factors of bleeding in patients with COVID-19 are thrombocytopenia, DIC, anti-coagulant administration, LDH elevation, increased inflammatory response and prolonged tissue hypoxia [13,14,15].…”

Spontaneous intramedullary hematoma following COVID‐19 vaccination: A case report

“…Although predisposing factors such as tumors, vascular malformations, and coagulopathic conditions are associated with hematomyelia, most reports delineate no specific reason. 10 , 23 , 24 , 25 Sabouri et al 12 published the first hematomyelia reported in a 73‐year‐old man with severe COVID‐19 pneumonia. In this report, we presented the first report of hematomyelia after SARS‐CoV‐2 vaccination.…”

“…10,11 Although the association between COVID-19 infection and hematomyelia was previously reported, there is no literature on COVID-19 vaccines and hematomyelia coincidence. 12 In this case, we report a rare coincidence of spontaneous intramedullary hematoma following the Sinopharm anti-COVID-19 vaccine.…”

“…Tumors, anticoagulants, and vascular lesions are associated with hematomyelia; still, the majority of them are idiopathic 10,11 . Although the association between COVID‐19 infection and hematomyelia was previously reported, there is no literature on COVID‐19 vaccines and hematomyelia coincidence 12 …”
