BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of our study was to analyze the diffusion properties of intracranial hematomas to understand the effects of hematomas on diffusion-weighted MR images of patients with acute stroke and to further our understanding of the evolution of signal intensities of hematomas on conventional MR images. We hypothesized that hematomas containing blood with intact RBC membra...

Mediastinal hematomas not associated with aortic disruption are thought to be common entities, and it is generally believed that most will spontaneously resolve. However, large mediastinal hematomas can cause fluctuations in cardiorespiratory physiology and can even cause death. Three cases of mediastinal hematomas are presented, as well as their surgical approach. Mediastinal hematomas should ...

Los hematomas espinales más comunes son los hematomas epidurales, no obstante a lo largo de los años se han descrito numerosos hematomas subdurales espinales (HSE). El mecanismo de la formación de los hematomas subdurales craneales es conocido, sin embargo, el mecanismo de origen de los HSE no está claramente definido. El sangrado de los hematomas subdurales craneales ha sido atribuido a la rot...

2015 Intramural hematomas are defined as an accumulation of blood in the media with entry and exit points that may or may not be identifiable. Intramural hematomas can occur during percutaneous coronary interventions and have been reported to occur spontaneously. While a majority of intramural hematomas are identifiable on coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasound should be considered the ...

This retrospective study of medical records, surgical protocols, patient observation cards, and imaging files of 100 patients treated for subdural hematoma analyzed the type of hematoma, patient age and sex, operative technique, neurological status, cause of injury, duration of hospital stay, mortality rate, and the number of and reasons for reoperations to determine the effects on treatment ou...

Spinal hematomas are a rare but serious complication of spinal epidural anesthesia and are typically seen in the epidural space; however, they have been documented in the subdural space. Spinal subdural hematomas likely exist within a traumatically induced space within the dural border cell layer, rather than an anatomical subdural space. Spinal subdural hematomas present a dangerous clinical s...
