ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION AND CLINICAL CASES We present two cases of spontaneous spinal extradural hematoma, which occurred in 1996 and were admitted to and operated on by our Department. Both patients were women. No cause for the bleeding was found in either case. Both presented with the site of the lesion in the thoracic spine, although at different levels. There was acute onset of the clinical condition. The best diagnostic procedure was MR. The treatment of choice was surgical and the results related to the rate of onset of the clinical picture and the time elapsed before operation. CONCLUSION:
The form of presentation is discussed, together with the importance of early diagnosis and the relation to emergency surgical treatment.
