Teaching NeuroImages: Posttraumatic lumbar epidural hematoma
Neurology current issue
A 36-year-old man presented with pain radiating from his right hip to the knee, after a heavy fall on his back 2 months earlier. At neurologic examination, bilateral Lasegue's sign (straight leg raise test) was present. MRI revealed a ventral epidural space-occupying lesion at L2-L3 (figure). The differential diagnosis consisted of a sequestered disc, a ventral synovial cyst, and an epidural hematoma.
