A case of lumbar spinal subdural hematoma in a patient who had been on anticoagulant therapy is reported. Thus far 19 cases of spinal subdural hematoma have been reported in the literature, the majority in patients with a bleeding diathesis and after a lumbar puncture. ⋯ A possible mechanism for the production of spinal subdural hematoma after a lumbar puncture is discussed.
