Abstract
Objective : Spontaneous lumbar epidural hematoma is a rare entity, although the precipitating factors such as anticoagulation therapy frequently precede it. The authors report four cases of surgically confirmed spontaneous epidural hematoma mimicking lumbar disc herniation. Methods : Between 1995 and 1998, four patients with spontaneous lumbar epidural hematoma were diagnosed. The clinical findings which are identical to that of acute disc herniation are included in this study. The operative findings and radiological characteristics are also included. Results : The magnetic resonance(MR) image findings demonstrated epidural lesions of intermediate to low signal intensity equivalent to those of normal discs on
