Intracranial Extension of Spinal Subarachnoid Hematoma Causing Severe Cerebral Vasospasm
Spinal subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAH) can extend into the intracranial subarachnoid space, but, severe cerebral vasospasm is rare complication of the extension of intracranial SAH from a spinal subarachnoid hematoma. A 67-year-old woman started anticoagulant therapy for unstable angina. The next day, she developed severe back pain and paraplegia. MRI showed intradural and extramedullar low sign...
متن کاملPeripheral 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...
متن کاملIntracranial heme metabolism and cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The goal of this prospective study was to clarify the potential role of an inducible heme-metabolizing enzyme, heme oxygenase (HO)-1, and an inducible iron-detoxifying protein, ferritin, in cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS The authors measured the levels of bilirubin and iron, which are by-products of HO-1, and the ferritin leve...
متن کاملCerebral Vasospasm with Ischemia following a Spontaneous Spinal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Cerebral vasospasm is a well-known consequence of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) triggered by blood breakdown products. Here, we present the first case of cerebral vasospasm with ischemia following a spontaneous spinal SAH. A 67-year-old woman, who was on Coumadin for atrial fibrillation, presented with chest pain radiating to the back accompanied by headache and leg paresthesias. The...
متن کاملSpinal subarachnoid hematoma.
A subarachnoid hematoma is the rarest type of clot to form within the spinal canal [1]. Most " so-called " spontaneous cases are related to underlying spinal cord pathology or bleeding diathesis [2]. Another smaller but significant group of patients develop hematomas after lumbar puncture, once again, often with concurrent clotting abnormalities [1]. Our report discusses the myelographic featur...
