Popis: Spontaneous hematomas associated with spinal meningiomas have been very rarely reported. They have been frequently associated with coagulation disorders or traumatic lumbar punctures.We report a case of a 72-year-old woman without coagulation disorders with a dorsal meningioma at D9-D10 level admitted in our hospital for scheduled surgical treatment. While awaiting surgery she developed an acute neurological worsening due to a subdural hematoma and required urgent surgical evacuation. After the surgery, the patient had a complete neurological recovery. This is probably the first case reported in the literature of this presentation to date.
