title: An unusual cause of spinal cord compression.
abstract: Spinal subdural haematoma (SSDH) is a rare, but potentially reversible, cause of spinal cord compression. We describe the case of an 85-year-old lady on long-term low-dose aspirin who presented with features of spinal cord compression. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed a large anterior thoracic SSDH. The aetiology, pathophysiology, clinical features and treatment options are discussed.
