摘要
We discuss a case detailing a favorable outcome of an epidural blood patch performed in the presence of an unknown cervical epidural hematoma. The case highlights the use of a spinal needle for epidural space confirmation, the importance of waiting for final consultation and radiologic testing results before therapeutic intervention when possible, and the use of an epidural blood patch, even in the setting of a known epidural hematoma.
