Intracerebral venous thrombosis and hematoma secondary to high-voltage brain injury.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the case of a 19-year-old male who sustained an electrodynamic (16.67 Hz) high-voltage (15,000 V) railway overhead cable injury. He lost consciousness 30 minutes after contact and died secondary to brainstem herniation as a result of intracerebral swelling within 8 days. Repeated cranial computed tomography revealed a huge hemispheric mass bleeding accompanied by subarachnoidal hemorrhage. Additionally, necropsy showed an extensive thrombosis of the adjacent cerebral veins. The pathophysiological mechanism of this unusual injury is discussed.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a medical emergency, which often leads to severe disability and death. ICH-related poor outcomes are due to primary injury causing structural damage and mass effect and secondary injury in the perihemorrhagic region over several days to weeks. Secondary injury after ICH can be due to hematoma expansion (HE) or a consequence of repair pathway along the continuum...
متن کاملPearls & Oy-sters: Delayed traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage caused by cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.
1. Intracerebral hemorrhage can follow an asymptomatic interval after a trauma and may be due to local or systemic coagulation abnormalities, necrosis of blood vessels in areas of brain injury, transient cerebral dysautoregulation, reduction of intracranial pressure either medically or surgically, or cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. 2. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis may be easily overlooked ...
متن کاملPharmacological deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis does not lead to hematoma expansion in intracerebral hemorrhage with intraventricular extension.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are at high risk for development of deep venous thrombosis. Current guidelines state that low-dose subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin or unfractionated heparin may be considered at 3 to 4 days from onset. However, insufficient data exist on hematoma volume in patients with ICH before and after pharmacological deep venous...
