Spontaneous spinal epidural haematomas in children

ConclusionsSSEHs affect all paediatric age groups and typically present with neurological dysfunction and/or back pain. The initial diagnosis is incorrect in up to 28% of cases, but cross-sectional spinal imaging is diagnostic. Most SSEHs are located in the cervico-thoracic region and affect multiple spinal levels. The treatment depends on whether the patient has a bleeding disorder and their neurological status.Graphical abstractThese slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
