Abstract
The case of a spontaneous cervical epidural hematoma treated by anterior corporectomy and arthrodesis is reported. An anterior approach is preferable when an epidural hematoma is anterior to the dural sac and when MRI shows an aspect of old clotted blood that can not be easily evacuated by a posterior laminectomy.
