Abstract
We report a case of spontaneous spinal epidural hemorrhage with three unusual features: (1) the hemorrhage was associated with aspirin inges tion and a reduced level of platelet glycoprotein Ia/IIa; (2) the pati ent presented with typical severe back pain but without neurologic dys function; and (3) the patient initially recovered without surgical dec ompression but suffered from recurrent epidural hematoma.
