Cervical epidural hematoma in a child

Abstract


Pediatric cervical epidural hematoma is an uncommon diagnosis and very few cases have been reported so far. The condition is difficult to diagnose and requires immediate surgical intervention to obtain the best possible neurological outcome. Most of the cases are of a spontaneous origin. We report a case of traumatic cervical epidural hematoma, which was managed surgically, resulting in complete neurological recovery.
