Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is extremely rare in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD).

Zusammenfassung:	Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is extremely rare in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD). We report a case of a 71‐year‐old man with ESRD presented with progressive left limb weakness. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed spinal cervical SEH involving C3‐5 level. The patient received emergent decompression laminectomy with the evacuation of the epidural hematoma.
