Background and Importance: Arachnoid cysts are benign nontumoral lesions that are usually found incidentally in brain imaging. Suprasellar Arachnoid Cysts (SSACs) are rare. They can cause hydrocephalus and increased intracranial pressure, lower cranial nerve impairment and endocrine disorder. Sometimes arachnoid cysts become complicated by subdural hematoma/hygroma.  Case Presentation: We...

Background & Aim: Post-traumatic subdural hygroma can be associated with subdural or epidural hematoma. It is usually silent with mild symptoms and often disappears spontaneously needing no treatment. In this study, we investigated the clinical characteristics of subdural hygroma in patients with traumatic brain injury. Methods & Materials/Patients: In a cross-sectional study, data o...

The diagnosis and management of acute subdural hematoma is important in neurosurgery practice. Rapid spontaneous resolution of acute subdural hematoma within a few hours is seen rarely on the CT scan. We present a case that enlarged the existent subdural hygroma showing rapid resolution of acute subdural hematoma with resolution in 9 hours after the trauma. Additionally, the follow-up CT scans ...

Background and Aim: Traumatic subdural hygroma is the accumulation of CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) in subdural space following head trauma. The mass effect of hygroma on brain can impinge on consciousness. There are still many ambiguities on indications of hygroma surgery. This is an 11-year follow-up study which involves the patients suffering traumatic subdural hygroma who underwent surgery. Met...

Hematogenous dissemination from a localized infection to a previous existing subdural hematoma is an extremely rare cause of subdural empyema which is termed infected subdural hematoma. We reported a 5-month-old male infant suffered from infected subdural hematoma by Escherichia coli (E. coli). In this patient, urinary tract infection was the most favorable origin from which seed the organism t...

chronic subdural hematoma (csdh) is a curable entity frequently encountered by neurosurgeons. the present study was conducted to explore expert opinion and common practice in iran. besides, a review of randomized clinical trials in literature was performed. a questionnaire including six questions discussing major aspects of practice on csdh, with multiple choices was designed. a pilot study was...

The role of traumatic subdural fluid collections in the development of chronic subdural haematomas was studied in 43 of 715 patients who underwent a CT scan because of a recent head injury. Twenty of the 43 patients subsequently developed a chronic subdural haematoma, and this occurred especially in the aged. Nearly 50% of patients with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic subdural fluid colle...

Subdural hematoma is a collection of blood and degradation products in the intracranial subdural space that liquefies over time. The objective this work to highlight prognostic factors patients with chronic hematomas (cSDH).

Figure 1 CT-scan showed right frontal extra-axial collections suggesting an acute extradural hematoma (white arrows) associated to chronic subdural hematoma (black arrows). However, craniotomy showed that the supposed chronic subdural hematoma was a typical subdural empyema. This image illustrates the possible association between epidural hematoma and subdural empyema in patients with craniofac...
