MRI scans: T1 sagittal view of the cervical (a), dorsal (b), and sacral (c) column showing a large subacute intraspinal extramedular hematoma from the craniocervical (*) region to the sacral (**) region, with spinal cord compression at the dorsal level ( ). It was not possible to study the whole column in one sequence due to clinically silent dorsolumbar scoliosis.

MRI of the spine revealed a large subdural hemorrhage with discontinuous cervical-dorsal-lumbar-sacral involvement with secondary spinal cord compression but without signs of associated vascular malformation (Figures 1 and 2).
MRI scan: T1 transversal view of the dorsal column. Subacute subdural hematoma ( ) with anterior displacement and compression of the spinal cord.

MRI of the spine revealed a large subdural hemorrhage with discontinuous cervical-dorsal-lumbar-sacral involvement with secondary spinal cord compression but without signs of associated vascular malformation (Figures 1 and 2).
Postsurgical MRI scan. Sagittal views: T2 (a) and T1 (b). Resolution of spinal cord compression in the operated segment (D1-D3) upper arrows, with persistence of cord compression at the D4-D7 level (lower arrows).

The clinical course was satisfactory, but a control MRI scan performed one week after surgery showed persistence of subdural hemorrhage and spinal compression at D4 to D7 segments with resolution of hematoma at D1-D3 (Figure 3).
