Spinal cord hematoma or hematomyelia is an infrequently encountered condition that is the result of several unusual disease processes. The causes of spontaneous, nontraumatic spinal cord hematoma include vascular malformations of the spinal cord (the most common), clotting disorders, inflammatory myelitis, spinal cord tumors, abscess, syringomyelia, and unknown etiologies. Traumatic events, such as spinal cord injury (closed or penetrating), and operative procedures involving the spinal cord also can cause a spinal cord hematoma. Reported by Teleradiology Providers.
