Epidural Anesthesia Complicated by Subdural Hygromas and a Subdural Hematoma
Inadvertent dural puncture during epidural anesthesia leads to intracranial hypotension, which if left unnoticed can cause life-threatening subdural hematomas or cerebellar tonsillar herniation. The highly variable presentation of intracranial hypotension hinders timely diagnosis and treatment. We present the case of a young laboring adult female, who developed subdural hygromas and a subdural ...

The finding indicates that laminectomy can be performed successfully as late as three days after diagnosis of the hematoma, with a complete restitutio...
متن کاملAcute 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...
