Spinal Cord Compression

An unusual cause of spinal cord compression

Case Reports, Volume 7, Issue 2, Pages 61 - 104 (2008)

Spinal subdural haematoma (SSDH) is a rare, but potentially reversible, cause of spinal cord compression. We describe the case of an 85-year-old lady on long-term low-dose aspirin who presented with features of spinal cord compression. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed a large anterior thoracic SSDH. The aetiology, pathophysiology, clinical features and treatment options are discussed.

Abstract

Compression of the spinal cord may present to general physicians, orthopaedic surgeons, neurologists or, if radicular pain is mistaken for intra-abdominal pathology, general surgeons. The causes of spinal cord dysfunction are diverse and range from anterior spinal artery ischaemia through a range of inflammatory insults to structural compressive pathology. The purpose of this article is to discuss the diagnosis of spinal cord compression, how to localise it clinically and how best to manage it.
