Figure 2 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of thoracic spontaneous epidural hematoma in different orientations. (A) Axial MRI image of the thoracic spine, with the red arrow indicating the thoracic spontaneous epidural hematoma (an abnormal high signal in the thoracic epidural region, suggestive of a hematoma). (B) Coronal MRI image of the thoracic spine, with the red box and red arrow pointing to the thoracic spontaneous epidural hematoma (an abnormal signal distributed along the coronal plane of the thoracic epidural space, suggestive of a hematoma). (C) Sagittal MRI image of the thoracic spine, with the red box and red arrow highlighting the thoracic spontaneous epidural hematoma (an abnormal signal distributed along the sagittal plane of the thoracic epidural space, indicative of a hematoma). (D) Sagittal MRI image of the thoracic spine, with the red box and red arrow indicating the thoracic epidural hematoma (an abnormal signal along the sagittal plane of the thoracic epidural space, suggestive of a hematoma).
