چکیده
Traumatic bilateral extradural haematoma resulting from injury to the superior sagittal sinus is rare; in such cases, early surgical evacuation of the haematoma and control of bleeding from the sinus can achieve an excellent patient outcome.

Chronic Extradural Hematomas: An Illustrative Case Report and Review of Literature
Extradural hematoma (EDH) identified more than 14 days after head injury is classified as a chronic extradural hematoma (CEDH).1 A CEDH is an elusive lesion2 and is rarely encountered in current clinical practice. This article describes an unusual case of a large bifrontal CEDH associated with superior sagittal sinus injury. A concise review of cases available in literature in the post-computed...
متن کاملPosterior cranial fossa venous extradural haematoma: an uncommon form of intracranial injury.
Extradural haematomas are commonly associated with direct trauma to the temporal bones of the cranium resulting in damage to the middle meningeal artery or its branches. A case is presented of an occipital skull fracture with venous sinus bleeding that resulted in a posterior cranial fossa extradural haematoma. Bleeding in this area, if unrecognised, may lead rapidly to respiratory arrest secon...
متن کاملThe biomechanical behaviour of the bridging vein-superior sagittal sinus complex with implications for the mechanopathology of acute subdural haematoma.
BACKGROUND Traumatic brain injury is expected to become the major cause of death and disability for children and young adults by the year 2020. One of the most frequent and most morbid pathologies resulted from a head trauma is acute subdural haematoma (ASDH). For nearly one third of the ASDH cases the etiopathology directly relates to a bridging vein (BV) rupture. METHODS In the current stud...
متن کاملSurgical management of an unusual carotid-cavernous fistula.
A case of carotid-cavernous fistula is described associated with extradural haematoma, temporal lobe contusion, ophthalmoplegia, optic nerve injury by fracture, rhinorrhoea, orbital encephalocoele, and traumatic carotid thrombosis. The fistula was occluded by clipping of the carotid artery intracranially and also of the ophthalmic artery.
متن کاملEndovascular treatment of a traumatic dural arteriovenous fistula of the superior sagittal sinus using dual lumen balloon microcatheter
Dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVFs) induced by trauma in the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) are rare and difficult to treat because of their unique midline location, multiplicity of arterial feeders, and critical venous drainage. We report a case of an endovascular treatment using dual lumen balloon microcatheter on a patient with post-traumatic SSS DAVF. By the use of dual lumen Scepter balloon...
