Performing early decompressive laminectomy and evacuation of hematoma on severe SSEH patients improves neurological outcomes. For patients with ventral side SSEH, the cerebrospinal fluid should be released after the incision on the dorsal side dural, and the ventral side dural should be gradually as well as intermittently clipped to evacuate the hematoma. The patient would also receive a good prognosis after the total release of the spinal cord compression.
