Spontaneous spinal epidural hematomas are uncommon, with an incidence of 0.1 per 100,000 patients in the general population. In the pediatric population, they are even more uncommon1,2. Symptoms include an acute onset of back or radicular pain followed by a progressive motor paralysis and sensory loss in the lower extremities. There are a limited number of reported cases in children or adolescents1-12.
