Spine MRI and brain CT of patient. Spine MRI shows diffuse low signal intensity in the posterior part of spinal canal region on T2 weighted image (A). T2 weighted image shows acute epidural hematoma (white arrow) in ventral part of spinal canal extending from S1 level to higher lumbar spine and myelopathy of T12-L1 spinal cord (B, C). Brain non-enhanced computed tomography shows subarachnoid hemorrhage and small amounts of intraventricular hemorrhage (D).
