Spinal anesthesia is widely used for many obstetric, gynecological, orthopedic, and urological operations. Subdural hematomas may occur after trauma and are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is a benign condition and the most frequent complication of spinal anesthesia. The high rate of headache after spinal anesthesia may mask or delay the di...

BACKGROUND Post-traumatic acute subdural hematomas generally appear hyperdense on a computed tomography scan. In the hyperacute stage, a subdural hematoma in rare cases appears heterogeneous with isodense images. This can pose a diagnostic problem and compromise patient care. Here we report a case of an isodense subdural hematoma and its management. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 5...

Although numerous articles have appeared in the literature on chronic isodense subdural hematomas, acute isodense subdural hematomas have received little attention. An experimental model was developed that demonstrated that blood with reduced hemoglobin concentration, 8-10 g/dl, is isodense with the brain. Two anemic patients with acute isodense subdural hematomas are reported.

Acute subdural hematoma is usually a neurological emergency that requires hematoma evacuation or close observation. However, spontaneous resolutions of an acute subdural hematoma without surgical interventions have been reported rarely. We report on a case who showed rapid resolution of an acute subdural hematoma with neurological improvement and review the relevant literatures.

Interhemispheric subdural hematomas are uncommon lesions. This case report describes a 77-year-old woman using anticoagulants who suddenly developed headache and ataxia of both legs. Computed tomography of the brain revealed an interhemispheric subdural hematoma, which was treated conservatively. Interhemispheric subdural hematomas should be considered in patients, especially in those using ant...

purpose: in this report a patient with concomitant axenfeld-rieger syndrome and glaucoma is presented. results: new symptoms of a recent traumatic subdural hematoma were being attributed to his previously diagnosed conditions for several months. conclusion: appropriate imaging saved the patient from more dangerous complications.

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Symptomatic subdural hematoma development is a constant concern for patients who have undergone cerebrospinal fluid shunting procedures to relieve symptoms related to normal-pressure hydrocephalus. Acute subdural hematomas are of particular concern in these patients as even minor head trauma may result in subdural hematoma formation. The presence of a ventricular shun...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Subdural hematomas are an important bleeding complication of anticoagulation. We quantify the risk of subdural hematoma associated with anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) compared with other oral antithrombotic therapies. METHODS Randomized trials were identified from the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and were included if published since ...

Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is frequently used to assess the lumbar spine, there are few reports in the medical literature that have evaluated using MRI immediately following spinal surgery. Furthermore, descriptions of the subdural changes after lumbar spine surgery are also infrequent. In this paper, we present two cases with subdural change seen on MRI immediately after lumbar ...
