Abstract

There have been no previous reports of a spinal subdural haematoma occurring as a complication of spinal surgery. We highlight the pitfalls in the diagnosis and management of a subacute subdural haematoma resulting from a dural tear which occurred as a surgical complication of microdiscectomy.
