Abstract

We report 2 cases of spinal epidural hematomas (SEDH) after a spell of fast bowling in 2 young boys. Both patients presented with spinal pain followed by weakness in both lower limbs. MRI of the spine revealed cervical SEDH in 1 patient and thoracic SEDH in the other. The authors want to highlight this peculiar mode of sports-related spinal injury. This type of injury has not been reported before. © 2014 S. Karger AG, Basel.
