twenty patients with intracranial hematoma (ich or ivh) were treated with direct infusion of urokinase through a catheter. reduction of hematoma volume was observed within a few days. twelve patients showed good or excellent outcome. no infection or rebleeding was observed.

BACKGROUND The need for revision surgery after a spinal surgery can cause a variety of problems, including reduced quality of life for the patient, additional medical expenses, and patient-physician conflicts. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the causes of unplanned revision spinal surgery within a week after the initial surgery in order to identify the surgical issues most commonly as...

Figure 1 CT-scan showed right frontal extra-axial collections suggesting an acute extradural hematoma (white arrows) associated to chronic subdural hematoma (black arrows). However, craniotomy showed that the supposed chronic subdural hematoma was a typical subdural empyema. This image illustrates the possible association between epidural hematoma and subdural empyema in patients with craniofac...

introduction: traumatic brain injury is considered as the major cause of mortality and hospitalization of about ten million people across the globe. most of these patients are young and active people suffering disabilities. tranexamic acid (txa) therapy is commonly used to reduce blood loss and need for blood transfusions in surgical cases. this study aimed at investigating the effect of tranex...

BACKGROUND Intrauterine hematomas are a common pregnancy complication. The literature lacks studies about outcomes based on hematoma localization. Thus, we aimed to compare pregnancies complicated by an intraplacental hematoma to cases with a retroplacental hematoma and to a control group. METHODS In a retrospective case-control study, 32 women with an intraplacental hematoma, 199 women with ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The association between elevated blood pressure (BP) and hematoma enlargement in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has not been clarified. We investigated the association between maximum systolic BP (SBP) and hematoma enlargement, measuring SBP between a baseline and a second CT scan in patients with hypertensive ICH. METHODS We assessed 76 consecutive patients with ...

Early hematoma enlargement and delayed clot lysis contribute to brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We investigated hematoma growth, clot lysis, and brain edema formation in patients with spontaneous ICH. A total of 17 spontaneous ICH patients who received regular medication were chosen for this study. All patients had their first CT scan within 5 hours of onset of symptoms (day ...
