RESUMO

Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) is a rare entity. We report a case of thoracolumbar SSEH in a 69 years-old woman, that occurred in 2005 without an etiologic factor to justify it. She recovered ad integrum after surgical decompressive treatment. We reviewed and discussed etiology, presentation, diagnostic approaches, and treatment.
