Hematoma epidural spinal spontan atau spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) adalah akumulasi darah di ruang epidural tulang belakang yang menekan medula spinalis dan menimbulkan defisit neurologis. SSEH dapat terjadi di segmen mana saja dari medula spinalis dan penyebab pasti serta sumber perdarahan yang pasti hingga saat ini masih belum diketahui. Diagnosis SSEH dapat ditegakkan dengan pemeriksaan penunjang MRI. Tatalaksana pilihan untuk kasus SSEH adalah laminektomi dekompresi dan evakuasi hematoma. Pada kasus ini, pasien datang dengan keluhan paraparesis inferior tipe UMN dan gangguan sensibilitas yang akut tanpa riwayat trauma dan faktor risiko yang berhubungan dengan SSEH. Pasien menjalani laminektomi dan menunjukkan perbaikan klinis yang signifikan. Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) is an accumulation of blood in epidural space of the spine compressing spinal cord and causing neurological deficits. SSEH can occur in any segments of the spinal cord and the definite etiology and source of bleeding is still unknown until now. MRI can be used to support SSEH diagnosis. Treatment of choice for SSEH cases is decompression laminectomy and hematoma evacuation. In this case, the patient came with acute paraparesis upper motor neuron type and sensibility disturbances, without history of trauma and any risk factors associated with SSEH. The patient underwent laminectomy and showed significant clinical improvement.
