Clinical and MRI Features of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Following Computed Tomography Myelography
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Intracranial subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a rare complication of myelography that can have serious consequences and presents a potentially life threatening complication in humans. In both humans and dogs [1-6], it may lead to raised intracranial pressure, the development of prolonged cerebral arterial spasm and cerebral ischemia [6-8]. The condition has been previously reported in two dogs in which it was found on post mortem examination [6]. The current case report describes the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and post mortem necropsy of SAH following an iohexol CT myelogram.

Spinal subarachnoid haemorrhage presenting as spinal block without meningism.
A case of spinal subarachnoid haemorrhage with progressive spinal cord compression and without any evidence of meningism is described. Spinal block was demonstrated by myelography and computerized tomography and surgical decompression of the subarachnoid blood clot resulted in almost complete recovery. A diagnosis of spinal subarachnoid haemorrhage should be considered in any patient who presen...
متن کاملOriginal surgical treatment of thoracolumbar subarachnoid cysts in six chondrodystrophic dogs
BACKGROUND Subarachnoid cysts are rare conditions in veterinary medicine, associated with spinal cord dysfunction. Most of the 100 cases of subarachnoid cysts described since the first report in 1968 were apparently not true cysts. Reported cysts are usually situated in the cervical area and occur in predisposed breeds such as the Rottweiler. The purpose of this retrospective study, from May 20...
متن کاملSyringomyelia and arachnoid cysts associated with spinal arachnoiditis following subarachnoid hemorrhage.
A 66-year-old woman with primary Sjogren syndrome developed syringomyelia following two episodes of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to the rupture of basilar artery aneurysms. Gait disturbance and abnormal sensation with pain over the foot and abdomen appeared 3 years after the last SAH. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed a syringomyelia throughout the thoracic cord, from the T2 to T11 ...
متن کاملDisseminated human subarachnoid coenurosis: computed tomographic appearance.
A single, fatal case of disseminated subarachnoid coenurosis in an infant is presented to illustrate the computed tomographic (CT) findings. The larval stage of Multiceps multiceps (dog tapeworm) is always confined to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways where the cysts may be imaged with CT. Previous reports of this rare human infestation do not include high-resolution CT [1-5]. Standard CT ...
متن کاملPseudo-subarachnoid haemorrhage due to chronic hypoxaemia: case report and review of the literature
BACKGROUND The specificity of computed tomography (CT) for subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is very high. However, physicians should be aware of rare false positive findings, also referred to as "pseudo-SAH". We present an unusual case in which such a finding was caused by chronic hypoxaemia. CASE PRESENTATION A 37-year-old male patient presented with headaches. His CT-scan showed multiple conf...
