RESUMO
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a novel syndrome of multisystemic inflammation affecting children. This case report documents an exceptional and severe complication of an epidural hematoma in a 3-year-old boy under the treatment of MIS-C. During the course of the disease, the patient suffered from a hypocoagulable state and an extensive multisegmental epidural hematoma in the cervical spinal canal. This led to severe anterior spinal cord compression and tetraparesis. Extensive emergency surgery had to be carried out to reverse rapid clinical deterioration.
