Acute subdural hematoma mimicking epidural hematoma on CT.
The characteristic feature of acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) when located over the convexity is that of a hyperdense crescentic area that conforms to the underlying cerebral surface and extends over most of the subdural space. Epidural hematoma (EDH), on the other hand, adopts a biconvex shape that is fundamentally focal in nature. During a 4V2year period two of 25 operatively proven cases of A...
متن کاملEncapsulated Unresolved Subdural Hematoma Mimicking Acute Epidural Hematoma: A Case Report.
Encapsulated acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) has been uncommonly reported. To our knowledge, a few cases of lentiform ASDH have been reported. The mechanism of encapsulated ASDH has been studied but not completely clarified. Encapsulated lentiform ASDH on a computed tomography (CT) scan mimics acute epidural hematoma (AEDH). Misinterpretation of biconvex-shaped ASDH on CT scan as AEDH often occu...
متن کاملAcute interdural hematoma mimicking epidural hematoma: a case report.
Intracranial hematoma rarely presents between two dural layers of pachimeninges. Here, we present a case of an interdural hematoma with similar appearance to an epidural hematoma. A 51-year-old man presented with a left temporal contusion following a motor vehicle accident. After craniotomy and contusion removal, the post-operative CT scan showed a parietal intracranial hematoma...
متن کاملAcute-on-chronic subdural hematoma
A 38-year-old male complains of a right-sided retro-orbitaltemporal headache of 2-day duration. It is described as intermittent and pressure-like, and is preceded by bouts of left arm numbness. He denies diplopia, visual changes, nausea, vomiting, or alterations in his consciousness. No acute trauma is reported, but he gives a history of airline travel within the past 24 h. His parents are pres...
متن کاملContralateral acute epidural hematoma after decompressive surgery of acute subdural hematoma: clinical features and outcome.
BACKGROUND Delayed contralateral epidural hematoma (EDH) after decompressive surgery for acute subdural hematoma (SDH) is uncommon. If unrecognized, this delayed hematoma can cause devastating consequences. We present our experience with this group of patients and discuss the diagnosis and management of this dangerous condition. METHODS This study included 12 traumatic patients with acute SDH...
