Posttraumatic Late-onset Extradural Hematoma in Dorsal Spine: A Rare Presentation

ABSTRACT Spinal epidural hematoma is a rare condition, which may be due to trauma, coagulopathy, surgery, or epidural catheterization. Its incidence is estimated at 0.1/100,000/year. We report a case of late-onset extradural hematoma due to trauma causing compression, and was surgically evacuated followed by immediate neurological recovery of patient.
