Abstract
|
|
|
|
Globally, as well as domestically, patients without risk factors for spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) have rarely been reported. SSEH often results from trauma, epidural catheter insertion for anesthesia and invasive spinal procedures. It could also occur in patients with risk factors such as hypertension, coagulopathy, pregnancy, and vascular anomaly. We encountered a case of a 51-year-old female without prior medical history or any risk factors. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed subacute SSEH at lumbar spine regions. The patient was treated successfully by surgical decompression. Therefore, we report this case with a review of the relevant literature.
