We present the case of an 86-year-old female with spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma. Although T1- and T2-weighted images showed the dilated posterior epidural space at the cervical spine, this finding was non-specific on conventional magnetic resonance imaging obtained 15 h after the onset of symptoms. Diffusion-weighted imaging with the use of periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction (PROPELLER), which clearly revealed the high intensity hematoma, was useful for detection and diagnosis of acute spinal epidural hematoma.

The occurrence of a spinal epidural hematoma in patients with hemophilia A with high-titer VIII inhibitors is extremely rare and intractable. A 15-year-old male patient presented to our institution with acute back pain and progressive sensorimotor disorder of the bilateral lower extremities. He had hemophilia A with high-titer VIII inhibitors and had experienced recurrent hemorrhagic episodes for many years. Prompt magnetic resonance imaging revealed a spinal epidural hematoma. We administered bypassing agent therapy with prothrombin complex concentrates and performed intensive neurological monitoring. The neurological dysfunction improved with days, and the patient recovered completely within 3 weeks. Magnetic resonance imaging 1 year later showed that the hematoma had been completely absorbed. Spinal epidural hematomas in patients with hemophilia A with high-titer inhibitors can be successfully treated using prothrombin complex concentrates. Multidisciplinary discussions based on intensive neurological monitoring should be performed as early in the clinical course as possible.
