- Abstract
The article describes cases of ligamentum flavum hematoma (LFH) in the lumbar spine in four patients. These patients underwent en bloc excision of their ligamentum flavum. Results of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the patients showed epidural masses which connected a mass and ligamentum flavum. It is reported that the treatment of LFH in these patients was surgical. It also noted that LFH cannot be diagnosed without both intraoperative and pathological findings.
