Abstract
We report a case of acute spinal subdural hematoma which developed then reg ressed spontaneously. MR imaging contributed essential information for diag nosis and follow-up after conservative treatment. We made a short review of the literature and discuss the causes, pathogenesis, clinical presentation and usual treatment of acute spinal subdural hematoma. The differential di agnosis with the more frequent and extradural hematoma requiring immediate surgical evacuation is fundamental.
