Acute Subdural Hematoma Secondary To Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysm

Management of Patients Presenting with Acute Subdural Hematoma due to Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysm

Acute subdural hematoma is a rare presentation of ruptured aneurysms. The rarity of the disease makes it difficult to establish reliable clinical guidelines. Many patients present comatose and differential diagnosis is complicated due to aneurysm rupture results in or mimics traumatic brain injury. Fast decision-making is required to treat this life-threatening condition. Determining initial di...

Predicting Factors of Chronic Subdural Hematoma Following Surgical Clipping in Unruptured and Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysm

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to analyze the differences in the incidence, predicting factors, and clinical course of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) following surgical clipping between unruptured (UIA) and ruptured intracranial aneurysm (RIA). METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 752 patients (UIA : 368 and RIA : 384) who underwent surgical clipping during 8 years. The inci...

Interhemispheric Subdural Hematoma from Ruptured Aneurysm: Case Report

Peripheral intracranial aneurysm causing subdural hematoma without subarachnoid hemorrhage.

A 75-year-old man with no history of head trauma presented with a 10-day episode of left forehead heaviness followed by sudden headache and vomiting. Neurologic examinations were unremarkable. Neuroimaging showed left frontal extra-axial lesion suggestive of acute and subacute subdural hematoma (figure 1, A–D). CSF analysis revealed normal cytology and the absence of xanthochromia. An angiogram...

Subdural Hematoma Intracranial Adults

General Information Subdural hemorrhage is bleeding below the dural membrane, whereas epidural hemorrhage, as previously discussed, is bleeding above the dura, i.e. between the dura and the overlying calvarium or base of the skull. The most common cause of a subdural hematoma is some form of direct impact trauma either as the result of an assault, fall or vehicular accident. Acute subdural hemo...
