traumatic basal ganglia hematoma is a rare condition defined as presence of hemorrhagic lesions in basal ganglia or adjacent structures suchas internal capsule, putamen and thalamus. bilateral basal ganglia hematoma are among the devastating and rare condition. we herein report a 28-year old man, a victim of car-car accident who was brought to our surgical emergency room by immediate loss of co...

Post-admission hematoma expansion in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) comprises a simultaneous major clinical problem and a possible target for medical intervention. In any case, the ability to predict and observe hematoma expansion is of great clinical importance. We review radiological concepts in predicting and observing post-admission hematoma expansion. Hematoma expansion can b...

SHIMADA, Y., KASUKAWA, Y., MIYAKOSHI, N., HONGO, M., ANDO, S. and ITOI, E. Chronic Subdural Hematoma Coexisting with Ligamentum Flavum Hematoma in the Lumbar Spine: A Case Report. Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 2006, 210 (1), 83-89 ── We present a case of a chronic spinal subdural hematoma combined with a ligamentum flavum hematoma in the lumbar spine treated surgically. An 83-year-old woman receiving an...

Eruption hematoma is a macular elevation in the soft tissue of alveolar mucosa seen nearly during the tooth eruption. Commonly, it does not have any clinical symptoms. In most cases, the black dome shape appearance of eruption hematoma worries parents about malignancy. Since the physicians are often the firsts who examine the affected child, this lett...

Background: Adrenal hematoma is a very rare acquired cause of neonatal hypertension. In this study, we report a case of neonatal hypertension associated with adrenal hematoma. A male neonate was immediately transferred to our neonatal intensive care unit after delivery due to meconium aspiration. He needed to be on mechanical ventilation support. During his hospital stay, hospital records showe...

a 25-year-old man was admitted in hospital due to right side hemopneumothorax secondary to car accident. a chest tube was inserted. during the hospitalization days, chest ct scan revealed a 3cmx3 cm oval-shaped density located in the right upper lobe. since he was in a good general condition, he was discharged from hospital after removal of chest tube and a follow-up chest ct-scan was recommend...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A simple estimation method of intracerebral hematoma volume known as XYZ/2 method has been described previously. This method has also been shown to be valid for the estimation of acute subdural hematoma volume. However, chronic subdural hematomas differ in shape and extension from acute subdural hematomas, which makes the validity of the same method in the estimation of h...

Promoting hematoma absorption is a novel therapeutic strategy for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH); however, the mechanism of hematoma absorption is unclear. The present study explored the function and potential mechanism of CD36 in hematoma absorption using in vitro and in vivo ICH models. Hematoma absorption in CD36-deficient ICH patients was examined. Compared with patients with normal CD36 ex...
