It is a rare, but serious condition resulting from tearing of bridging veins or rupture of the dilated thin-walled blood vessels in the subdural space.1 Most of these subdural hematomas can be managed with treatment directed to the underlying spinal CSF leak.2 However, surgical drainage by craniotomy ...

متن کاملChronic Subdural Hematoma Associated with Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension: Therapeutic Strategies and Outcomes of 55 Cases
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) has increasingly been recognized, and it is well known that SIH is sometimes complicated by chronic subdural hematoma (SDH). In this study, 55 cases of SIH with SDH were retrospectively analyzed, focusing on therapeutic strategies and outcomes. Of 169 SIH cases (75 males, 84 females), 55 (36 males, 19 females) were complicated by SDH. SIH was diagnosed...

A 51-year-old woman presented with a rare case of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) complicated by a delayed subdural hematoma (SDH) that required surgical evacuation 2 months after epidural blood patching (EBP). Subdural fluid collections are common among patients with SIH. These fluid collections vary in appearance from thin subdural hygromas to rare large SDHs associated with signif...
متن کاملBilateral subdural hematomas caused by spontaneous intracranial hypotension.
Patients with both spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) and subdural hematomas (SDH) are frequently undiagnosed. SIH may recur very often over a short interval or result in disastrous consequences if only the SDH is dealt with. We report a young adult with severe posterior nuchal pain; brain computed tomography showed bilateral SDH. He was discharged smoothly without any neurologic defici...
