Atorvastatin and glucocorticoid therapy for retroclival epidural hematoma: Case report and literature review

Year: 2025

Type: article

Study design: Case Report

Abstract: Retroclival epidural hematomas (REDH) are particularly rare conditions. We report for the first time the effect of conservative treatment of this rare condition with atorvastatin and glucocorticoids and review the literature. In this case, atorvastatin and glucocorticoid therapy can promote hematoma absorption and symptom relief, providing a novel possibility for conservative treatment of REDH.
