Management of traumatic cervical epidural hematoma in patients on Xa-inhibitors: a  case report and review of the literature

ConclusionManagement of each case of CEH must be carefully considered and tailored based on their symptom presentation and progression  of disease. As the use of anticoagulation including factor Xa inhibitors becomes more prevalent, there is greater need to understand the detailed pathophysiological aspect of the injuries. Targeted reversal agents such as Prothrombin Concentrate can be used for conservative treatment. Adjunct test ing such as thromboelastogram can be used to help guide management.
