The 24-year-old Kane, who has scored 24 league goals this season and is expected to lead England's attack in the World Cup in June, was hurt in a heavy clash with keeper Asmir Begovic that led to his right ankle buckling under the strain.
Kane was unable to carry on and hobbled off soon afterwards.
"We are concerned because still we can't know what will happen to him," said Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino.
"We have to wait until tomorrow or after tomorrow for the scan for the reality. I hope it is not a massive problem. That is my wish."
Kane missed a total of 10 weeks last season after injuring the same ankle on two separate occasions.
He is likely to miss England's friendlies against the Netherlands on March. 23 and Italy four days later.
The win moved Spurs a point and a place above Liverpool into third with 61 points from 30 games and restored a five-point gap over fifth-placed London rivals Chelsea who they visit on April 1st in the battle for the top four Champions League spots.
Spurs were flattered by the margin of victory.
Arsenal eased their way past Watford 3-0, marking their first clean sheet in 12 league matches and settling nerves at the Emirates after a string of losses in 2018.
The win leaves Arsenal 10 points off Champions League qualification in sixth place in the standings, while Watford stay in 10th.
