Abstract
We report a case of spontaneous spinal epidural hemorrhage with three unusual features: (1) the hemorrhage was associated with aspirin ingestion and a reduced level of platelet glycoprotein Ia/IIa; (2) the patient presented with typical severe back pain but without neurologic dysfunction; and (3) the patient initially recovered without surgical decompression but suffered from recurrent epidural hematoma.
