Abstract:
Objective To improve the diagnostic and therapeutic levels for spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma(SSEH) by summarizing the effect of microsurgery and clinical diagnosis of SSEH. Methods The therapeutic efficacy of 21 patients with SSEH undergoing microsurgery from March 1996 to March 2003 was retrospectively analyzed. Results On discharge from hospital, muscle strength of the bilateral lower extremities of 13 patients was restored to grades Ⅲ or Ⅳ, 5 to grade Ⅴ but no change was found in 3 patients. Conclusion Early diagnosis of SSEH and surgical treatment are helpful to restoring the function of the injured spinal cord and decrease of sequelae.
