A rare case: spinal subdural and spinal subarachnoid hemorrhage due to anticoagulant use

Spinal Subdural Hematoma (SSDH) and Spinal Subarachnoid Hematoma (SSAH) are the spinal hematoma types that can cause spinal cord and nerve compression. The risk of formation of atraumatic spinal hematoma due to warfarin use is rare. Specifically, the association between SSDH and SSAH is even more rare. Here we present a patient with a history of warfarin use who had paraplegia followed by analgesic complaints of irregular low back pain in our case. We have tried to emphasize that emergency care physicians should be careful about spontaneous spinal hematomas that may require emergency intervention in the presence of predisposing factors, even in the case of a simple back pain complaint.
