  • Title: Spinal epidural haematoma mimicking spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage.
    Author: Labeodan OA.
    Journal: Emerg Med J; 2005 Aug; 22(8):606-7. PubMed ID: 16046780.
    Abstract:
    Spinal epidural haematoma is increasingly picked up using magnetic resonance imaging, especially following trauma. The presentation can be varied especially if there is a trivial history of trauma. Spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage can occur in spinal haematoma as a rare and unusual presentation and can be easily misdiagnosed. The key to early diagnosis is a strong suspicion and careful repeated neurological examination. We present an illustrative case.
