Spinal intradural hemorrhage is a rare event; the most common causes of spinal bleeding are traumas, medical therapy with anticoagulants and thrombolytics, vascular malformations, and congenital defects of coagulation. Rarely, spinal cord tumors may cause hemorrhage. Herein, we report the case of a patient with acute and quickly worsening lumbar pain: the neurological examination revealed a flaccid paraplegia caused by an intradural lesion extending on the right side of the spinal cord from T1 to L2 vertebral level. Pathological examination revealed an hemorrhagic schwannoma. Acute spinal subdural hemorrhage caused by spinal schwannomas is a very rare occurrence (29 cases only have been previously reported). Review of the literature with clinico-diagnostic features is presented, surgical treatment is explained, and pathological findings with possible etiopathogenesis of hemorrhage are described.
