Abstract
Two patients presenting with signs and symptoms suggestive of nerve root compression secondary to extradural masses were found to have ligamentum flavum hematomas. Both patients had neurological deficits preoperatively and regained normal function postoperatively. There was no significant antecedent injury in either case. The symptom course was longer than that for spontaneous epidural hematoma. In one case, there was remodeling of bone, initially suggesting either infection or tumor.
