ABSTRACT

Spinal hematomas are a rare but serious complication that is typically observed in the epidural space. Spinal subdural hematomas are a dangerous clinical situation because of their potential to cause significant compression of the neural elements and can be mistaken easily for spinal epidural hematomas. This paper reports a case of a severe whole lumbar subdural hematoma after a simple epidural injection that was treated with surgical decompression with excellent clinical results.
