Abstract
Spontaneous spinal epidural hematomas (SSEH) typically happen under specific situations; rarely do they occur without any cause. The incidence of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma is ~0.1 per 100,000 population, and male to female ratio is about 1.4:1.1 This case report is aimed at enlightening emergency physicians about the possible presence of an initial asymptomatic phase and quick progression of symptoms in patients presenting with lower back ache due to spinal epidural hematoma. Patients present initially with lower back pain, observation and close follow up are necessary. A rare case of a spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma will be described herein.
