[Spontaneous spinal subdural and epidural haematoma in a pregnant patient].
We report a pregnant woman who developed non-traumatic spinal subdural and epidural hematoma. A 31-year-old woman at 28 weeks of gestation developed progressive ascending paralysis. MRI suggested the presence of spinal subdural hematoma at T4-6 and spinal epidural hematoma at T4-9. An emergency cesarean section followed by spinal decompression was performed 60 hours after the onset. The patient's neulogical function recovered completely after the surgey.
