Background : Spinal subdural hematoma is serious but rare complication . We report a patient of spinal subdural hematoma at site far from needle puncture site, following spinal anaesthesia for caesarean delivery. Case presentation: A 22year old parturient presented at emergency of OBG dept. Spinal anaesthesia was given at L3- L space which was atraumatic and given in a single successful attempt and caesarean delivery was uneventful. On the 4th post- operative day patient presented with sudden onset of severe upper back pain and weakness in both lower- limb leading to flaccid paralysis. MRI images showed spinal subdural hematoma at D3-D4 level producing cord compression. Discussion: Spinal subdural hematoma brings about devastating neurological dysfunction with significant morbidity and mortality. MRI is the standard modality in the evaluation of spinal cord injuries visualising not only the hematoma but also other is spinal cord pathologies. Conclusion: Spontaneous spinal subdural hematoma can occur without any known pathology or remarkable trauma. It can cause compression of the spinal cord and should be ruled out in any patient presenting with neurological dysfunction. It can be early diagnosed with the help of MRI and early initiation of conservative treatment improves the prognosis of patient.
