| Popis: | Epidural hematoma, a rare entity, may occur spontaneously, although a factor such as anticoagulation therapy is more frequently the cause. Epidural hematomas most commonly manifest with pain and neurologic deficit. Only six cases of lumbar hematoma simulating a herniated disc syndrome have been reported in the literature. In this article a thorough knowledge of the natural history and the differential diagnosis of disc disease as well as the importance of a complete physical examination are emphasized. Sagittal MRI imaging, as shown here, has proved to be an important adjunct in the evaluation of multilevel spinal disorders. |
