Immediate Revision Surgery due to Post-Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) Spinal Epidural Hematoma

Abstract

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion(ACDF) is a surgical treatment for cervical radiculopathy and myelopathy. Though this is a common surgery, spinal epidural hematomas occur rarely and an immediate treatment decision and surgical decompression are required in this situation. In this report, we discuss the proper treatment of spinal epidural hematoma after ACDF.
