Özet

Spontaneous spinal epidural hematomas occur relatively rare in comparison with postoperative spinal epidural hematomas. Usually, patients present themselves with extreme radicular pain, axial pain depending on the level of hematoma, and progressive neurological deficit. Spinal epidural hematoma is a neurosurgical emergency characterized in the spinal epidural space. Whatever the reason is behind the hematomas, for patients with progressive spinal cord compression symptoms, surgical operation is usually preferred.
