METHODS We present two cases of spontaneous spinal extradural hematoma, which occurred in 1996 and were admitted to and operated on by our Department. Both patients were women. No cause for the bleeding was found in either case. Both presented with the site of the lesion in the thoracic spine, although at different levels. There was acute onset of the clinical condition. The best diagnostic procedure was MR. The treatment of choice was surgical and the results related to the rate of onset of the clinical picture and the time elapsed before operation. CONCLUSIONS The form of presentation is discussed, together with the importance of early diagnosis and the relation to emergency surgical treatment.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007796 Laminectomy A surgical procedure that entails removing all (laminectomy) or part (laminotomy) of selected vertebral lamina to relieve pressure on the SPINAL CORD and/or SPINAL NERVE ROOTS. Vertebral lamina is the thin flattened posterior wall of vertebral arch that forms the vertebral foramen through which pass the spinal cord and nerve roots. Laminotomy,Laminectomies,Laminotomies
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D010264 Paraplegia Severe or complete loss of motor function in the lower extremities and lower portions of the trunk. This condition is most often associated with SPINAL CORD DISEASES, although BRAIN DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES; and MUSCULAR DISEASES may also cause bilateral leg weakness.

D006407 Hematoma, Epidural, Cranial Accumulation of blood in the EPIDURAL SPACE between the SKULL and the DURA MATER, often as a result of bleeding from the MENINGEAL ARTERIES associated with a temporal or parietal bone fracture. Epidural hematoma tends to expand rapidly, compressing the dura and underlying brain. Clinical features may include HEADACHE; VOMITING; HEMIPARESIS; and impaired mental function.
