Abstract

A subarachnoid hematoma is the rarest type of clot to form within the spinal canal. Most 'so-called' spontaneous cases are related to underlying spinal cord pathology or bleeding diathesis. Another smaller but significant group of patients develop hematomas after lumbar puncture, once again, often with concurrent clotting abnormalities. Our report discussed the myelographic features of a large spinal subarachnoid hematoma that developed after lumbar puncture.
