Resumen

Presentamos un caso excepcional de estenosis de canal lumbar con síndrome de cola de caballo por un hematoma crónico espontáneo en el espacio epidural L2-L3.

Se trata de un varón de 53 años que, sin ninguna clase de antecedente patológico relacionado con el problema actual (traumatismos, punciones lumbares, toma de antiagregantes o anticoagulantes), presenta una colección hemática epidural que va comprimiendo progresivamente la cola de caballo. Las pruebas de imagen mostraron una colección polilobulada, bien delimitada, que se interpretó como quiste sinovial. Tras la cirugía (laminectomía descompresiva y evacuación) se confirmó el diagnóstico con estudio histológico. Tras la operación se recuperó por completo la función neurológica.

The etiology, MRI, intraoperative findings and microscopical study are presented and discussed. After surgery there was a complete resolution of the clinical picture.
