Spontaneous Spinal and Intracranial Subdural Hematoma

Subdural hematoma (SDH) of the spine following intracranial hemorrhage is extremely rare. We present a 35-year-old woman who suffered from headache and dizziness initially, and then lower back pain, lower limb weakness and paraparesis gradually developed within 1–2 weeks. Magnetic resonance imaging...
