Spinal subarachnoid hematoma.

چکیده
A subarachnoid hematoma is the rarest type of clot to form within the spinal canal [1]. Most " so-called " spontaneous cases are related to underlying spinal cord pathology or bleeding diathesis [2]. Another smaller but significant group of patients develop hematomas after lumbar puncture, once again, often with concurrent clotting abnormalities [1]. Our report discusses the myelographic features of a large spinal subarachnoid hematoma that developed after lumbar puncture.

Unintentional acupuncture needling of the thoracic spinal canal produced a spinal epidural hematoma and subarachnoid hemorrhage. This case demonstrates that patients are sometimes reluctant to disclose folk medical treatments to Western physicians, and the proper diagnosis may depend upon the prowess of the neuroradiologist.
متن کاملSpinal Subarachnoid Hematoma as a Complication of an Intramuscular Stimulation : Case Report and a Review of Literatures
Intramuscular stimulation (IMS) is widely used to treat myofascial pain syndrome. IMS is a safe procedure but several complications have been described. To our knowledge, spinal subarachnoid hematoma has never been reported as a complication of an IMS. The authors have experienced a case of spinal subarachnoid hematoma occurring after an IMS, which was tentatively diagnosed as intracranial suba...
متن کاملSimultaneous cranial subarachnoid hemorrhage and spinal subdural hematoma.
We report a rare case of simultaneous cranial subarachnoid and spinal subdural hematoma (SDH) in a 42-year-old man who was on Warfarin therapy after cardiac bypass surgery. Computed tomography at presentation revealed a cranial subarachnoid hemorrhage, and spinal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed a spinal SDH extending from the T6 to L5 segments. He had paraparesis due to ...
متن کاملSpinal subarachnoid hematoma resulting from lumbar myelography.
We describe a rare complication of myelography. A subarachnoid filling defect was apparent on the postmyelographic CT but not on conventional myelography. MR imaging performed later showed a spinal subarachnoid hematoma (SSAH), extending from L3 to L5. Lumbar puncture may rarely be a cause for SSAH and is more common in patients with coagulopathy. Significant back pain, paresis, radiculopathy, ...
متن کاملSpontaneous Spinal Subdural Hematoma with Simultaneous Cranial Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Spontaneous spinal subdural hematoma is reported at a rare level of incidence, and is frequently associated with underlying coagulopathy or those receiving anticoagulant or antiplatelet agents; some cases accompany concomitant intracranial hemorrhage. The spontaneous development of spinal subdural hemorrhage (SDH) is a neurological emergency; therefore, early diagnosis, the discontinuation of a...
