Preoperative holo-spine magnetic resonance imaging showing a large cervicothoracic posterior epidural hematoma, hyperintense in T2-weighted images (a, red arrow in axial plane) and hypointense in T1-weighted images (b, red arrows in sagittal plane).

The holo-spine magnetic resonance (MR) with contrast showed a large cervicothoracic posterior epidural compressive lesion extending from C3 to L1 that was consistent with an epidural bleed; it was hypointense on T1, and hyperintense on T2-weighted images [Figures 1a and b].

The 48-h postoperative cervicothoracic magnetic resonance imaging documented complete epidural hematoma removal with no increased signal in the cord (i.e., consistent with the absence of a significant ischemic injury) [Figure 2].
