Spontaneous spinal subdural hematoma is an uncommon finding. This report of two cases of spinal subdural hematoma (one hyperacute and one subacute) discusses the current theory of how it develops, the MRI findings, its differentiation from spinal epidural hematoma, and the value of MRI in monitoring patients undergoing conservative treatment. The most significant MRI findings in the hyperacute ...

We wish to notify the readers on a rare case of interhemispheric acute subdural hematoma (ASH) who presented to our emergency department (ED) with a falx syndrome of contralateral hemiparesis in lower extremity and severe headache. A 25-year-old previously healthy man was involved in a traffic accident and presented to our ED with complaints of repeated vomiting and severe headache. On arrival ...

Subdural effusion in the setting of dural metastasis is very rare and may be difficult to be distinguished from chronic subdural hematoma. A 44-year old woman with gastric adenocarcinoma is presented with headache and a hypodense subdural collection in right fronto-parietal in brain CT. Burr-hole irrigation was performed with the impression of chronic subdural hematoma, but nonhemorrhagic xanto...

Although the literature records instances of acute epidural haematoma and acute subdural haematoma related to playing basketball, there has not been a report of chronic subdural haematoma as a basketball injury. With the burgeoning interest in this sport in the United Kingdom and Europe, the possibility of this particular neurotrauma increases. Such an injury, along with the diagnosis and manag...

Intracranial subdural empyema (ISDE) is a life-threatening condition. The risk for ISDE increases in patients that have undergone prior intracranial procedures. The non-specificity in its clinical presentation often makes ISDE difficult to diagnose. Here, we present a rare case of ISDE mimicking a recurrent chronic subdural hematoma, emphasizing the significance of obtaining early magnetic reso...

We treated two cases of a subdural hematoma associated with dural metastasis of gastric cancer, from which both patients died. Case 1: A 60-year-old female patient was hospitalized with a diagnosis of type 4 gastric cancer of the antrum. The patient suddenly collapsed, and, subsequently, left hemiplegia and a depressed level of consciousness were noted. A head computed tomography (CT) scan reve...

INTRODUCTION Rapid spontaneous resolution of traumatic acute subdural hematoma is an infrequent phenomenon and mainly develops in a case of simple acute subdural hematoma without parenchymal contusion. However, it has been rarely reported in a pediatric case with severe initial head injury. CASE PRESENTATION A 7-year-old Asian girl with traumatic acute subdural hematoma was transferred to our...

Dural metastasis from primary gastric adenocarcinoma has been rarely reported, and its prognosis is very poor because it frequently leads to acute subdural hematoma. Here, we describe a case with sequential spinal and cranial dural metastases from gastric adenocarcinoma without subdural hematoma. A 43-year-old woman with gastric adenocarcinoma and well-controlled peritoneal carcinomatosis prese...

We report the case of 22-year-old man with nontraumatic intracystic hemorrhage into a middle cranial fossa arachnoid cyst associated with a contiguous subacute subdural hematoma. Arachnoid cysts are benign intra-arachnoidal fluid collections frequently detected incidentally during neuroimaging. Rare complications of arachnoid cysts such as intracystic hemorrhage or subdural hematomas and subdur...

A 62-year-old man was admitted for focal seizure on the right perioral area and hand developed after minimal head trauma. Brain computed tomogram examination on admission showed small amount of chronic subdural hematoma on left frontoparietal area. We planned conservative treatment with anticonvulsant, phenytoin. But, his seizure was sustained despite combination therapy of antiepileptic drugs ...
