Abstract

A series of 10 surgically treated "spontaneous" spinal haematomas (7 cases with epidural, 3 with intramedullary location), is presented. Symptomatology was rarely acute. Clinical onset was mostly dominated by spinal or radicular pain, followed by severe motor deficit. Surgical outcome was satisfactory in the majority of cases. Age, duration of symptoms, haematoma site and size appeared to have no influence on final outcome. This was significantly correlated only with the preoperative neurological condition.
