Coexistence of subdural and intracerebral hematoma in a shunted infant not related to ventricular catheter.
نویسنده
چکیده
We have here, a case report of an infant who presented with subdural and intracerebral hematoma distantly from the site of insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt 6 days after operation. Though this complication has been previously reported, it remains a rare event. Both pathogenesis and treatment still represent a problem.

The authors present a case of a head injured patient with coexistence of a chronic intracerebral hematoma and an ipsilateral chronic subdural hematoma that expanded chronically showing clinical deterioration,...

Introduction: Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a common disease. Among cerebrovascular accidents, ICH is the most fatal subtype and many of the survivors may be severely disabled. Comatose patients with these hemorrhages constitute a very special subgroup because of the high mortality rate and more uncertainty about the best surgical indications. Therefore, this study aimed to eval...
متن کاملDifferentiation between meningeal fibrosis and chronic subdural hematoma after ventricular shunting: value of enhanced CT and MR scans.
Unenhanced CT in four patients with long-standing ventricular shunts demonstrated bilateral low-density extraaxial collections that were indistinguishable from chronic subdural hematomas. After administration of contrast material, however, there was marked enhancement of the collections as well as prominent paratentorial and parafalcial enhancement. MR imaging, performed in three patients, demo...
