Article Synopsis
- An 86-year-old woman with chronic neck pain initially appeared to have an ischemic stroke, but further investigation revealed a compressive cervical hematoma instead.
- After undergoing cervical laminectomy and evacuation of the hematoma, she regained movement in her upper limbs, although weakness in her lower limbs continued a week later.
- The case highlights that spontaneous cervical hematomas can present like strokes, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for better outcomes.

Although most of the reported cases evolve spontaneously and favourably, in rare cases, serious complications can occur leading to the death of the patient.
