Traumatic acute spinal subarachnoid hematoma.

چکیده
This report describes a 66-year-old man who presented with progressive paraparesis after a fall. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an acute spinal hematoma at T11-12 with spinal cord compression. The patient underwent an emergency left T11-12 hemilaminectomy. The hematoma was subarachnoid and the source of bleeding was an injured radicular vein. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of traumatic spinal subarachnoid hematoma. We discuss the possible mechanism and our case illustrates an injured radicular vein can be a source of traumatic spinal subarachnoid hematoma.

bleeding at the site of the puncture was prolonged, and laboratory tests showed thrombocytopenia. Repeat CT of the spine 8 days later failed to demonstrate previously noted increased densities of the hematoma. We suggest that the subarachnoid hematoma was caused by repeated spinal tap, abnormal coagulation , and possible engorged spinal vessels from a reactive process secondary to meningitis. C...

Spinal subarachnoid hematoma (SSH) is a rare condition, more commonly occurring after lumbar puncture for diagnostic or anesthesiological procedures. It has also been observed after traumatic events, in patients under anticoagulation therapy or in case of arteriovenous malformation rupture. In a very small number of cases no causative agent can be identified and a diagnosis of spontaneous SSH i...
متن کاملCT diagnosis of spinal epidural hematoma.
An acute spinal epid ural hematoma is a neurosurgical emergency. If a prompt diagnosis is not made and decompression not undertaken shortly after the onset of symptoms, neurologic deficits are usually irreversible and death often ensues [1 -6]. Although early recog nition of this condition is possible with high-reso lution computed tomography (CT) because the hematoma may be directly visuali ze...

Background: Brown-Sequard syndrome (BSS) is a rare neurological condition resulting from a hemisection injury to or unilateral compression on the spinal cord. The most common causes of BSS that are amenable to be treated surgically can be divided into traumatic and non-traumatic injuries. Traumatic injuries are often reported as the main cause of BSS. However, non-traumatic injuries of the spin...
