Does ozone autohemotherapy have positive effect on neurologic recovery in spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma?
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine(2014)
Abstract
Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma is a rare disease. The clinical presentation usually features sudden onset back pain with accompanying motor or sensory deficits. We report a case of a 26-year-old patient who presented to the emergency department with sharp back pain, progressing to paralysis of the lower extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an epidural hematoma of the thoracic spine with spinal cord compression. Emergent laminectomy was performed, but postoperative neurologic recovery was not ideal. The patient has recovered satisfactorily after 2 courses ozone autohemotherapy. Ozone autohemotherapy is an alternative treatment of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma.
