Abstract

The spontaneous hematomyelia is an uncommon event and its predisposing conditions are vascular malformation, syringomyelia, pregnancy and delivery, angioma, hemophilia, anticoagulant therapy, etc. We have recently experienced the patient with spontaneous onset and resolving hematomyelia in the cervical spinal cord. A 30-year-old male patient with non-traumatic spinal shock was evaluated. On MRI, a hematomyelia along cervical spi-nal cord was revealed. A suspicious AV malformation was noticed at C3-4 level. Fol-low-up MRIs showed spontaneous resolution of the hematoma. Key Words: Spontaneous hematomyelia, MRI, AVM
