ABSTRACT
The authors present the case of a 60-year old man with a spontaneous spinal intradural hematoma in the thoracic and lumbar region, which was caused by anticoagulant therapy and led to a severe progressive transverse lesion. After substitution of coagulation factors, a small catheter was inserted into the subarachnoid space via a lumbar puncture. By alternating irrigation and suction removal of the blood clot, restoration of the cerebrospinal fluid passage was possible along with a marked improvement in the neurological deficits. At 8 months' follow-up, the patient had completely recovered from the severe paraparesis and bladder dysfunction.
