Abstract

We report a case of chronic spinal epidural hematoma in a 21-year old male who was operated on his back due to herniated lumbar disc at the right side of L5-S1 level. The postoperative MRI demonstrated isointense mass on T1W1 and hyperintense on T2W1 at the point where the initial herniated disc compressed the right S1 root. Revision was done and the mass was disclosed to be well-encapsulated chronic spinal epidural hematoma and here-by we report the case with review of literature.
