Spinal subdural hematomas is a very rare and unusual complication of spinal interventions. We present a case of subacute SSDH in the lumbar region of a 60 year-old woman following microdiscectomy for recurrent lumbar disc herniation. By presenting this rarely seen case of postoperative subacute SSDH, we want to bring attention to the possible postoperative complications like spinal hematomas in the differential diagnosis of failed back surgery syndrome in patients who do not respond to conservative treatment or develop neurological deficits and to the importance of radiological imaging in such cases.
