BACKGROUND Chronic expanding haematoma (CEH) is a very infrequent event with imprecise developmental mechanism and is rarely reported in literature. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of enormous and spontaneous chronic haematoma of the back, expanded from the lower thoracic area to the sacral area, in a young patient without any history of trauma or chronic coagulopathy. CONCLUSION The MR...

Few case reports of encapsulated intracranial hematoma (EIH) exist, and the mechanisms underlying the onset and enlargement of EIH remain unclear. Here, we report on a 39-year-old woman with an EIH that repeatedly hemorrhaged and swelled and was ultimately surgically removed. In June 2012, the patient visited her local doctor, complaining of headaches. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan id...

Background Chronic subdural hematoma is associated with high rates of perioperative complications and recurrence. Methods The classic treatments are observation or surgical evacuation. Middle meningeal artery embolization a recently emerging procedure that has evolved as the neuroendovascular community gained collective experience. This review summarizes pathophysiology chronic hematoma, review...

• Bruit or thrill suggestive of a traumatic arteriovenous fistula • Expanding or pulsatile hematoma • Pulsatile or severe hemorrhage • Pulse deficit—pulses may be normal in patients with nonocclusive injuries that require surgical repair, such as intimal flaps or pseudoaneurysms • Thorough vascular and esophageal evaluation is required, even with minor neck wounds, if any abnormalities are evid...

Hematomas caused by surgery or trauma that persist and expand slowly for more than a month are defined as chronic expanding hematomas (CEH). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful for the diagnosis. Total excision with the pseudocapsule is the treatment method. Pseudoaneurysms result from arterial wall disruptions and can be mistaken for CEH. We present a rare case report of a 45-year-old m...
