TLDR
The postoperative progress of 3 patients with spinal epidural hemorrhage, but without spinal fracture or dislocation, is presented and the absence of motor or sensorimotor functions preoperatively does not necessarily indicate a poor prognosis.About:

Spinal hematoma: a literature survey with meta-analysis of 613 patients
TL;DR: Doctors should require strict indications for the use of spinal anesthetic procedures in patients receiving anticoagulant therapy, even if the incidence of spinal hematoma following this combination is low, and close monitoring of the neurological status of the patient is warranted.

Surgical management of spinal epidural hematoma: relationship between surgical timing and neurological outcome
Michael T. Lawton,Randall W. Porter,Joseph E. Heiserman,Ronald Jacobowitz,Volker K.H. Sonntag,Curtis A. Dickman +5 more
TL;DR: This large series of SEH demonstrates that rapid diagnosis and emergency surgical treatment maximize neurological recovery, however, patients with complete neurological lesions or long-standing compression can improve substantially with surgery.

TL;DR: The authors have the opinion that the posterior internal vertebral venous plexus plays an important part in the etiology of the SSEH.

Operative treatment of spontaneous spinal epidural hematomas : a study of the factors determining postoperative outcome
TL;DR: The critical factors for recovery after spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma are the level of preoperative neurological deficit and the operative interval, which suggests that local compression, rather than vascular obstruction, is the main factor in producing neurological deficit.

Recovery from paraplegia caused by spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma
TL;DR: Patients who recovered within 6 months had endured a shorter interval between loss of their ability to walk and surgical decompression than patients who did not recover, and the probability of recovery fell below 50 percent when this interval exceeded approximately 36 hours.

TL;DR: Bleeding may also occur secondary to trauma, spinal surgery, angioma, vascular malformation or coagulopathies, most particularly anticoagulant therapy.
