Abstract

We report a case of anterior spinal epidural hematoma, after removal of cervical meningioma by posterior approach, which occurred in a 61-year-old man who presented with left hemiparesis and hypalgesia. A cervical mass surgically confirmed as meningioma was removed by posterior approach. 3 hours after operation, the patient revealed quadriparesis with respiratory difficulty. We herewith report a rare case of anterior spinal epidural hematoma which caused a catastrophic aggrevation of postoperative course.
