ABSTRACT

An interesting case of paraparesis due to compression by a spinal meningioma was investigated and taken up for surgery. Intraoperatively, we were surprised to find a large hematoma, likely related to a forgotten trivial injury. And this patient recovered near completely after evacuation of clot. This case is reported for its rarity, large spinal hematoma mimicking a meningioma with a good recovery. The incidence (1,000,000) of spinal hematoma presenting as meningioma after a forgotten trivial injury is rare.

Keywords
