AbstractWe describe a case of spontaneous spinal extradural haematoma presenting as cardiac chest pain. Although a neurosurgical emergency, the diagnosis is initially missed until neurological deficit develops. Prompt MRI scans of the spine followed by rapid transfer to a neurosurgical unit for definitive intervention increase the chances of full recovery.
