A 45-year-old female, obese with a BMI of 39.5 kg/m2 was scheduled to undergo hysteroscopy for endometrial hyperplasia under spinal anesthesia. In the operating theater, in sitting position, the spinous process was difficult to detect and so the line of iliac crests as landmark for the level L4-L5 was used for puncture. After several unsuccessful attempts to perform the spinal anesthesia at different levels, a rapidly progressive swelling appeared at the points of puncture. No paralysis was noted. What is your diagnosis?

Iatrogenic hematoma
Spinal cord injury
Spinal nerve paralysis
Spinal hemangioma
