Abstract:
Acute idiopathic (spontaneous) spinal subdural hematoma (spinal subdural hematomas is a rare neurosurgical emergency, often linked to coagulation disorders, trauma, iatrogenic, and underlying neoplasm, with symptoms worsening gradually. A healthy 34-year-old woman developed sudden paraplegia after back pain. Urgent T1-T2 laminectomy revealed a subdural hematoma, leading to successful evacuation. Eight months postoperative, she walks independently with reduced spasticity and intact muscle strength. The initial presentation may be subtle and symptoms worsen rapidly. Magnetic resonance imaging is the best diagnostic tool, and early decompressive laminectomy is crucial if needed.
