ABSTRACT
The spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma has a rare occurrence. Recently the authors have experienced a case of chronic spontaneous thoracic epidural hematoma in a 26 year old woman. She presented with Lt. scapular and upper thoracic pain, paraparesis and acute voiding difficulty during pregnancy and postpartum period. The thoracic myelography with niopam was performed by lumbar tap and C1-2 tap. Resoluted spinal epidural hematoma was removed with nearly complete recovery after 5 weeks. There was no trauma history but Lt. scapular and upper thoracic pain had been developed during previous pregnancy about 3 years ago. We present that this case may be related with pregnancy and delivery.
Key Words: Resoluted spinal epidural hematoma; Pregnancy; No trauma history
