Resumen

El hematoma epidural intrarraquídeo espontáneo incluye aquellos casos cuyo comienzo está relacionado con actividades triviales de la vida diaria y no secundario a causas conocidas como puedan ser traumatismos, uso de medicación anticoagulante o malformaciones vasculares. Se trata de una patología conocida aunque poco comunicada.

Cuando asienta en región dorsal y cervical puede acarrear una paraplejia o tetraplejia a no ser que se llegue a un diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz. En la región lumbosacra puede simular perfectamente –como el caso aquí presentado– una hernia discal extruída.

Palabras clave:
Hematoma Epidural Hernia Discal Lumbar
Summary

Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma is a pathological entity related with the activities of daily normal life. Risk factors such as traumatism, use of anticoagulant medication, or evidence of vascular malformation are excluded. It is probably quite more frequent than reported in the literature.

When the location of the hematoma is the dorsal or cervical area a paraplegia or tetraplegia wilI probably follow unless diagnosis is made and surgery quickly performed.

In the lumbosacral region it may have a clinical presentation similar to the extruded lumbar disc, as in the case that we are reporting.

Key words:
Spontaneous Epidural Hematoma Extruded Disc
