ABSTRACT
Despite profound diagnostics, the aetiology of spinal epidural haematoma (SEH) often remains unknown. In this case, diagnostics revealed an SEH at the fifth and sixth thoracic levels due to a subclavian steal syndrome with a tortuous vascular loop between the sixth thoracic intercostal artery and the costocervical arteries deriving from the left subclavian artery with plump arteries in the epidural space. The patient underwent decompression surgery and a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. The patient showed good recovery at follow-up. The SEH was a result of secondary formed thoracic collateral circuits with epidural involvement due to a subclavian steal syndrome.
