Popis: Chung et al’s report of two patients who developed delayed post-operative spinal epidural haematoma after posterior spinal surgery. In both cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was utilised to accurately diagnose the haematoma compressing the spinal cord. They correctly emphasised the importance of having a high index of clinical suspicion and reported successful outcomes following surgical evacuation of haematoma.
