Compressive spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma following cervical laminoplasty and the role of multimodal neuromonitoring: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cervical myelopathy is a clinical syndrome resulting from cord compression at the level of the cervical spine characterized by fine motor, sphincter, and gait dysfunction, for which early surgical management is the mainstay of therapy. Identification of techniques to monitor for and facilitate early management of rare but serious neurologic complications following cervical spine surgery is of the utmost importance. Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) is one such technique that may be employed to identify neurologic injury in a timely manner including those events occurring remote to the operative levels.

Case description

In this report, we describe the case of a 77-year-old male with a complicated medical history who sustained intraoperative spinal cord injury c
