Acute subdural hematoma mimicking epidural hematoma on CT.
The characteristic feature of acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) when located over the convexity is that of a hyperdense crescentic area that conforms to the underlying cerebral surface and extends over most of the subdural space. Epidural hematoma (EDH), on the other hand, adopts a biconvex shape that is fundamentally focal in nature. During a 4V2year period two of 25 operatively proven cases of A...
متن کاملSpinal epidural lubricant grease collection mimicking traumatic spinal epidural hematoma.
We report an unusual case of a patient with an epidural fluid collection with signal characteristics mimicking an epidural hematoma. The patient presented with myelopathy caused by thoracic spinal cord compression after a traumatic injury to the chest and back. The injury was caused by high-pressure injection of industrial-grade lubricant grease. This case demonstrates that cord compression can...
متن کاملIdiopathic spinal epidural lipomatosis.
Spinal epidural lipomatosis is a rare disorder characterized by the pathological overgrowth of epidural fat and often causes extradural compression which may mimic other spinal disorders. Steroid administration is a well-documented etiology. We report a case of spinal epidural lipomastosis without history of steroid administration. The initial manifestation was bizarre and was misdiagnosed as a...
متن کاملEncapsulated Unresolved Subdural Hematoma Mimicking Acute Epidural Hematoma: A Case Report.
Encapsulated acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) has been uncommonly reported. To our knowledge, a few cases of lentiform ASDH have been reported. The mechanism of encapsulated ASDH has been studied but not completely clarified. Encapsulated lentiform ASDH on a computed tomography (CT) scan mimics acute epidural hematoma (AEDH). Misinterpretation of biconvex-shaped ASDH on CT scan as AEDH often occu...
متن کاملSpinal Epidural Lipomatosis in Korean
Spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL) is a rare disorder, regarded in literature as a consequence of administration of exogenous steroids, associated with a variety of systemic diseases, endocrinopathies and the Cushing's syndrome. Occasionally, SEL may occur in patients not exposed to steroids or suffering from endocrinopathies, namely, idiopathic SEL. Thus far, case studies of SEL among Korean ha...
