摘要：

Introduction: Spinal subdural hematoma is rare and can cause serious neurological symptoms. Sometimes, idiopathic spinal subdural hematoma can spontaneously occur without any identifiable underlying etiologies. In this report, we present such an uncommon case of paraplegia caused by idiopathic spinal subdural hematoma that was successfully managed by laminectomy. Case presentation: A 45-year-old Chinese woman presented with sudden onset of progressive asthenia and numbness in both lower extremities, accompanied by difficulty in micturition. An initial non-contrast spinal magnetic resonance imaging at a local hospital suggested a spinal subdural tumoral hematoma at the T9 level. She was referred to our hospital and an emergency laminectomy from T8 to T10 was performed 22 hours after onset of her initial symptoms. However, nothing but a hematoma was identified during the operation, and a final diagnosis of spontaneous acute spinal subdural hematoma was concluded. She had partial return of sensations and voluntary movement after the operation. Conclusions: On imaging findings, spinal subdural hematoma could manifest as focal and independent from the dura matter, and, therefore, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of medullary compressive lesions. © 2015 Zhu et al.
