Abstract
A 69-year-old man developed severe neck and back pain with paraparesis which resolved within 2 h of onset. A CT myelogram demonstrated an ex tensive anterior extradural haematoma. This and several other cases fr om the literature suggest that patients with spontaneous spinal haemat omas who rapidly recover from their neurological deficit do not requir e urgent surgical decompression.
