title: Widespread posttraumatic spinal subdural hematoma--imaging findings with spontaneous resolution: case report.
abstract: A 63-year-old man developed paraparesis and signs of meningeal irritation 4 days after a fall which caused a minor contusion of the cervical spine. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an extensive spinal subdural hematoma. The usefulness of MRI for diagnosis and successful conservative treatment is discussed.
