AB  - Spinal  epidural  hematoma  (SEH)  is  an  accumulation  of  blood  in  the  loose  areolar  tissue  between  the  vertebrae  and  the  dura  of  the  spinal  canal.  Typically,  the  hematoma  is  asymptomatic,  but  in  rare  cases  it  will  compress  the  spinal  cord,  with  potentially  devastating  neurological  consequences.  These  symptoms  include  sensory  disruption,  bowel  and  bladder  incontinence,  motor  weakness,  or,  in  severe  cases,  complete  paralysis  of  the  affected  limbs.  This  clinical  entity  was  first  described  in  the  medical  literature  in  1682  as  spinal  hematoma  with  spinal  apoplexy  in  the  Histoire  de  l’Academie  Royale  des  Science  (Volume  2;  G.J.  Duverney).1  Nearly  200  years  later,  in  1869,  a  report  of  the  first  clinical  diagnosis  of  SEH  was  published  in  the  Lancet.2
