Abstract

Herniated nucleus pulposis, spondylotic spinal canal stenosis, neoplasms, infection, and spontaneous epidural hematoma [3,7,9] are the most common causes of spinal root and canal compression in the fourth to sixth decades of life. Ligamentum flavum hematoma, which is actually a type of epidural hematoma, is an extremely rare cause of spinal root or canal compression. We report the case of a 67-year-old man with a ligamentum flavum hematoma compressing the spinal canal at the L2-L3 level.
