Literature review of spinal hematoma case reports: causes and outcomes in pediatric, obstetric, neuraxial and pain medicine cases
2024
Overview
BackgroundThe risk of spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) has been described in the literature but the impact in various patient populations has not been assessed in the same study. We identified the risk factors for SEH and calculated the OR for recovery in the pediatric, adult and obstetric (OB) patients based on the degree of neurological deficit before surgery.MethodsAdult non-OB cases were categorized whether they were on anticoagulants or not; SEH was related to neuraxial or pain procedure; or whether there was adherence to the American Society of Regional Anesthesia (ASRA) guidelines. Eligible cases were identified through PubMed and Embase searches in the English literature from 1954 to July 2022.ResultsA total of 940 cases were evaluated. In the pediatric cases, SEH was typically spontaneous, related to coagulopathy or athletic trauma. OB cases were spontaneous or related to neuraxial injections. Among adults on anticoagulant(s), SEH was mostly spontaneous with no related etiology or related to neuraxial procedure. SEH occurred despite adherence to the ASRA guidelines. Among non-OB adults not on anticoagulants, SEH was due to trauma, neuraxial injections, surgery or other causes. Neurological recovery was related to the degree of neurological deficit before surgery.ConclusionsOur data show a preponderance of spontaneous SEH in all patient populations. SEH developed even though the ASRA guidelines were followed, especially in patients on multiple anticoagulants. Patients with less impairment prior to surgery had a higher likelihood of complete recovery, regardless of the interval between surgery and onset of symptoms.
