  • Title: Spontaneous spinal epidural haematoma: a cautionary tale.
    Author: Lord GM, Mendoza N.
    Journal: Arch Emerg Med; 1993 Dec; 10(4):339-42. PubMed ID: 8110329.
    Abstract:
    Less than two hundred cases of spontaneous spinal epidural haematoma (SSEH) have been reported in the literature and theories as to its genesis are diverse. It is a serious condition, especially if there is a delay in diagnosis, as early treatment confers marked prognostic advantage. We present a case report of a 68-year-old male who was diagnosed as having a spinal epidural haematoma, followed by a discussion of the possible aetiology of this condition.
