Sudden spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) is relatively rare. Sudden pain from the neck to the back and subsequent extremity paralysis necessitate immediate head and cervical magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography, keeping SSEH in mind. Although surgery is recommended for progressive paralysis, conservative treatment is indicated for mildly symptomatic cases.
