Abstract
Spontaneous spinal epidural haematoma is rare. A case of haemophilia-B presenting with cervical spinal cord compression due to epidural haem atoma, is reported. This is the second case in literature, to our know ledge, of intraspinal epidural haematoma in a patient with haemophilia -B. The importance of early diagnosis, especially with magnetic resona nce imaging and surgical intervention, when deemed necessary, are emph asized.
