Abstract

A 15-year-old boy developed back pain and sciatica after a minor trauma. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed lumbar spinal subdural hematoma. After repeated lumbar spinal puncture and drainage of hemorrhagic fluid, spinal subdural hematoma was resolved completely. The benefits of conservative treatment by lumbar spinal puncture are discussed.
