title: [Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma. Report of two cases].
abstract: In the paper 2 cases of non-traumatic spinal epidural haematomas are presented. The possible aetiological factors--vascular malformation, coagulopathy, anticoagulants and neoplasm are discussed. Neurological state, diagnostic procedure and treatment are described. Taking into account our experience we state that only early diagnosis and operation-surgical decompression of spinal cord, could result in complete recovery.
