Cervical spinal subdural hematoma.
We report a case of intraspinal subdural hematoma following trauma - a rare entity - with a review of the literature. The location of the hematoma in the cervical spine as described in this report is even more uncommon and was reported only once before. The pathophysiology of this entity is discussed, and the myelographic features are emphasized to facilitate the preoperative diagnosis.
