AB  - Intraspinal  hematoma  is  a  relatively  rare  condition  resulting  from  a  variety  of  causes.  Its  incidence  is  approximately  0.1  per  100,000  patients  per  year.1,2  Traumatic  causes  include  lumbar  puncture  and  neuraxial  anesthesia  as  well  as  a  complication  of  spinal  surgery.  It  is  more  likely  to  occur  in  anticoagulated  or  thrombocytopenic  patients,  patients  with  neoplastic  disease,  or  in  those  with  liver  disease  or  alcoholism.3,4  Spontaneous  bleeding  is  rare  but  may  be  seen  from  a  spinal  arteriovenous  malformation  or  vertebral  hemangioma.  Approximately  one  quarter  to  one  third  of  all  cases  are  associated  with  anticoagulation  therapy.5,6
