Figure 5 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images of thoracic spontaneous epidural hematoma in axial and sagittal views. (A) Axial MRI image of the thoracic spine, with the red arrow indicating the thoracic spontaneous epidural hematoma at the Th1–2 vertebral level (an abnormal signal in the epidural region at the Th1–2 vertebral level, suggestive of a hematoma). (B) Sagittal MRI image of the thoracic spine, with the red box and red arrow highlighting the thoracic spontaneous epidural hematoma at the Th1–2 vertebral level (an abnormal signal distributed along the epidural space at the Th1–2 vertebral level, indicative of a hematoma).
