Abstract
Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma is a rare obstetric emergency which warrants immediate management to prevent permanent neurological deficit. Only 12 cases have been reported in the literature so far [1], and most of them are located in the dorsal epidural space. Hematomas in ventral epidural space are rare because the posterior longitudinal ligament is tightly adhered to the anterior dura while the dorsal epidural space is filled with fat [2]. We present a case of spinal epidural hematoma in pregnancy, restricted to the ventral epidural space.
