Introduction: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a common surgical procedure used to treat herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and nerve root compression in the cervical spine. This systematic literature review aims to analyze the available literature on the incidence, risk factors, clinical considerations, and available therapies for spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) following ACDF.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Embase from database inception to June 18, 2025, following the PRISMA guidelines.

A neurological deficit (ND) is one of the dreaded complications of spinal deformity. While most are associated with the corrective procedure itself, neurological deficits can also be present preoperatively. Postoperatively, these deficits can manifest either immediately as a perioperative new-onset neuro deficit (PNND) or emerge later as a delayed-onset postoperative neuro deficit (DPND).

Objective: Paraplegia from spinal cord ischemia (SCI) is a life-altering complication of aortic surgery. While various strategies have been employed to enhance spinal cord perfusion, no pharmaceutical agents have been used clinically to mitigate the risk of SCI. Inhibition of Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II (CaMKII) pathway has shown neuroprotective effects in rodent cerebral ischemia; however, its role in spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury has yet to be investigated.

Intrathecal haematoma is a rare and potentially devastating cause of acute spinal cord compression. In the absence of trauma, anticoagulation, or a known bleeding disorder, diagnosis can be significantly delayed. This report presents an unusual case of an intrathecal haematoma precipitated by exertion in a previously undiagnosed case of von Willebrand disease.

Pressure injury (PI) is an adverse event and a global issue. This case report examines the efficacy of microgranular skin grafting in treating a sacral stage III pressure injury in a 49-year-old male patient with paraplegia due to a severe car accident 15 years prior. Conventional wound management had failed, leading to worsening ulcers.
