Spontaneous spinal epidural hemorrhage and sentinel headache—A case report.

Objectives/Background: Expand the differential diagnosis of sentinel headache to include spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) and reinforce the need for lumbar puncture in the evaluation of thunderclap headache. SSEH is a rare clinical presentation especially in the absence of bleeding tenden...

      ab: Objectives/Background: Expand the differential diagnosis of sentinel headache to include spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) and reinforce the need for lumbar puncture in the evaluation of thunderclap headache. SSEH is a rare clinical presentation especially in the absence of bleeding tendencies. Clinicians recognize SSEH with typical presenting signs and symptoms including regional paraspinal muscular contraction and pain along with myelopathy. Although thunderclap headache usually does not connote vascular rupture in the spinal epidural compartment, SSEH may rarely present with sentinel headache and later evolve into a myelopathy. Results and Conclusion: Sentinel headache may be the sole symptom following spontaneous spinal epidural hemorrhage preceding both myelopathic and meningeal signs and symptoms. SSEH can best be diagnosed by lumbar puncture at this early moment potentially averting spinal cord injury.
