BACKGROUND: Spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is an uncommon but serious emergency condition rare cases of spontaneously or following a minor traumatic event without bony injury.
OBJECTIVE: We report the rare case of SEH associated with traditional massage initially presenting with delayed lower paraplegia.
CASE REPORT: A 20-year-old man presented with bilateral lower extremity weakness and numbness 3 h prior to presentation. 3 days prior he was given a layperson Thai massage by a friend. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a spinal epidural lesion suspicious for hematoma extending from C6 to T2 levels. Emergent surgical intervention for cord decompression was performed. An epidural hematoma with cord compression at C6-T2 levels was identified intraoperatively. No evidence of abnormal vascular flow or AV malformations was identified. Similar to chiropractic manipulation, massage may be associated with spinal trauma.
CONCLUSION: Emergency physicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for spinal epidural hematomas in patients with a history of massage or chiropractic manipulation with neurologic complaints, because delays in diagnosis may worsen clinical outcome.
