    Author: Nardone R, Kunz A, Kraus J, Staffen W, Ladurner G, Trinka E, Golaszewski S.
    Journal: Acta Neurol Belg; 2010 Sep; 110(3):268-9. PubMed ID: 21114136.
    Abstract:
    Spinal subdural hematoma (SSDH) with no underlying pathology is a very rare condition and has been rarely reported. Our patient presented with severe occipital headache as isolated symptom during the first 4 days. SSDH slowly enlarges with time, and first determines tension of the pain-sensitive dural membrane, resulting in cervicogenic-like headache. Therefore, spontaneous SSDH should be considered in the differential diagnosis of recent occipital headache.
