Spontaneous thoracic extradural haematoma presenting as the Brown–Sequard syndrome

A patient with delayed traumatic cervical spinal epidural haematoma presenting with hemiparesis

“…11 Bilateral sensorimotor deficits are usual; however, patients may present with unilateral hemiparesis 12 or a definitive Brown-Sequard syndrome. 13 Similarly, our patient was presumed to have suffered a cerebrovascular accident, and was commenced on aspirin, which has the potential of causing a rapid expansion of the lesion. 14 Case reports of spontaneous SEH post-thrombolysis are prominent in the literature.…”

Spontaneous spinal epidural haematoma in a geriatric patient on aspirin

“…15 Case reports of SSEH post-thrombolysis are prominent in the literature, 16,17 and clopidogrel therapy has also been implicated as a risk factor. 18 Aspirin-associated SSEH has been described only rarely.…”

Brown‐Sequard Syndrome: A Rare Presentation of Spontaneous Cervical Spinal Epidural Haematoma

“…6 Chest pain, flank pain, back pain, monoparesis or hemiparesis have been infrequently reported as atypical presentations of SSEH. 7 Brown-Sequard syndrome is an incomplete spinal cord injur y characterised by ipsilateral hemiplegia with contralateral pain and temperature deficits, and that resulting from cervical SSEH is a rare entity, with only 11 cases described in the literature (Table 1). [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] MR imaging is the "gold-standard" diagnostic method for SSEH.…”
