    AbstractA 46-year-old woman presented with sudden severe pain in the interscapular region. Physical examination, including detailed neurological evaluation, did not disclose any abnormalities. However, magnetic resonance imaging revealed an epidural hematoma anterior to the thoracic spinal cord and its spontaneous resolution thirty days after onset. Her hospital course was uneventful. To our knowledge, this report documents the first case of a spontaneous spinal spidural hematoma without neurological deficits. Spinal epidural hematoma may be more common than previously thought because some cases have probably been misdiagnosed as transient back pain of unknown etiology.
