Subarachnoid hemorrhage in perivascular spaces mimicking brainstem hematoma.

چکیده
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) can be devastating and associated intraparenchymal hematomas significantly increase the likelihood of neurological deficit. We report a case of a patient with an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and a brainstem hematoma, but suffering only minimal sensory deficits. Our hypothesis is that the apparent brainstem hematoma was actually subarachnoid blood in dilated Virchow-Robin spaces. To our knowledge, this is the first report of subarachnoid hemorrhage extending into Virchow-Robin spaces.

Intracerebral hematoma extends via perivascular spaces and perineurium.
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating disorder associated with high morbidity and mortality. ICH results in the formation of hematoma that affects not only the primary site of injury but also the remote regions. In fact, hematoma can extend via perivascular spaces (also called Virchow-Robin spaces, VRS) and perineurium in an animal model of ICH. In the present study, we used magnetic ...
متن کاملSpinal epidural hematoma mimicking subarachnoid hemorrhage: A case study
BACKGROUND Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) is a rare spinal cord disorder requiring urgent diagnosis and prompt treatment to prevent irreversible neurological damage. Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), usually presenting with headache and neck stiffness, is also a worldwide neurosurgical emergency. In this case study, a patient on clopidogrel presented with an SSEH mimicking a spontaneo...

متن کاملClinical significance of traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.
The clinical significance of traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (TSAH) was studied in 20 head-injured patients. They were classified into mild (9) and severe (11) groups by their initial Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores. TSAH detected by computed tomography was localized in the Sylvian fissure in four of the nine mild group patients, but was also found in other basal subarachnoid cisterns in the ...
متن کاملNeuroendoscopic treatment of symptomatic giant Virchow–Robin spaces
BACKGROUND Virchow-Robin spaces (VRS) or perivascular spaces are interstitial cystic spaces surrounding the vasculature of brain parenchyma and course from the subarachnoid space. Small VRS (<2 mm) appear in all age groups, but can enlarge and be confused with other lesions like cystic neoplasms. These enlarged VRS are termed giant tumefactive perivascular spaces (GRPVS). CASE DESCRIPTION We ...
