Traumatic spinal epidural hematomas are uncommon and may present symptoms of spinal cord compression, usually requiring emergent surgical treatment. We present a post-traumatic thoracic spinal epidural hematoma which was detected 10 days after blunt trauma. He had no neurological deficits but only pain on T2~T5 area. He was treated conservatively and showed resolving thoracic spinal epidural hematoma on magnetic resonance imaging after 2 weeks follow-up. He showed no neurological deficits and improved.
