The spontaneous hematomyelia is an uncommon event and its predisposing con-ditions are vascular malformation, syringofhyelia, pregnancy and delivery, angioma, hemophilia, anticoagulant therapy, etc.
We have recently experienced the patient with spontaeous onset and resoloving hematomyelia in the cervical spinal cord. A 30-year-old male patient with non-traumatic spinal shock was evaluted. On MRI, a hematomyelia aloug cervical spi-nal cord
was
revealed. A suspicious AV malformation was noticed at C3-4 level. Fol-low-up MRIs showed spontaeous resolution of the hematoma.
