Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSHE) is a rare entity can have several reasons. Its prevalence in population is 0.1 per 100,000 with the male to female ratio of 1/4:1. For the first time Jackson in 1869 reported a case of SSHE and after that it was declared as several hundred cases in literatures. Here, a case of SSHE was reported in a 52 year-old male referred to emergency department fo...

The hemorrhagic side effects associated with the use of clopidogrel are within the acceptable range and occur mainly at skin or gastrointestinal sites. We report a case of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) in a 60-yr-old woman who was treated with clopidogrel for frequent transient ischemic attacks. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case of clopidogrel-induced SSEH. The pa...

Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) is a rare entity. We report a case of thoracolumbar SSEH in a 69 years-old woman, that occurred in 2005 without an etiologic factor to justify it. She recovered ad integrum after surgical decompressive treatment. We reviewed and discussed etiology, presentation, diagnostic approaches, and treatment.

A 33-year-old male patient experienced temporary sensory loss and weakness in the right lower extremity one month prior to admission. The patient was admitted to a private clinic with a three-day history of acute onset of sensory loss and weakness in both lower extremities and was treated and followed up with a prediagnosis of transverse myelitis and the Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). The patie...

Spontaneous cervical SDH with no underlying pathology is a very unusual condition. To the best of the authors' knowledge, only two cases have been previously reported. A 48-year-old female patient was admitted to our emergency room due to severe neck pain following standing up position with rapid onset of hemiparesis. MRI revealed a dorsolateral subdural hematoma from C3-C5 with cord compressio...

Spontaneous spinal-epidural hematoma is uncommon and rare during pregnancy. We were presented with a 31-year-old patient who developed back pain with lower extremity paralysis at 36 weeks of gestation. A magnetic resonance imaging scan demonstrated an acute spinal-epidural hematoma and therefore, an emergency cesarean delivery was performed followed by hemilaminectomy with hematoma removal. Ane...
