  • SSH presents significant morbidity and mortality risks.

Observation:

  • This case report details a mixed spinal subarachnoid and subdural hemorrhage.
  • The hemorrhage occurred in an elderly woman following failed spinal anesthesia.
  • The patient was also on anti-coagulation therapy.

Findings:

  • The presented case highlights a rare complication of spinal anesthesia and anticoagulation.
  • Mixed spinal subarachnoid and subdural hemorrhage is a critical neurosurgical emergency.
  • Prompt surgical intervention is essential for favorable outcomes.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of vigilance in patients with risk factors for spinal hematoma.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical decompression are vital for managing spinal subdural hematoma.
  • Further literature review is needed to understand this rare complication better.
