Subacute spinal subdural hematoma managed by a late lumbar decompression – a case report and literature review
Abstract
Conclusions: Our unique case report shows potential problems with decision-making regarding the timing of the surgery. Although early decompression is characterized by the best outcome, surgeons are obliged to take into account several factors such as dysregulated coagulation system and if necessary, delay the surgery for the benefit of the patient.
