Resumen (ES)

We repor a case of cervical epidural hematoma in
a 43 year-old man, after soft-tissue cervical spine strain
(known as a “whiplast”). At the beginnig, because previous
presumptive cardiac pain in this patient, we need to discart
cardiac cause. We made the diagnostic of cervical epidural
hematoma with the use of magnetic resonance imaging. The
incomplete, not severe and nonprogressing defficits led us to
conservative treatment; and the hematoma resolved spontaneously,
as documented with a new magnetic resonance imaging.
The medical literature relating to this uncommon entity
has been reviewed.
