Acute subdural hematoma mimicking epidural hematoma on CT.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The characteristic feature of acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) when located over the convexity is that of a hyperdense crescentic area that conforms to the underlying cerebral surface and extends over most of the subdural space. Epidural hematoma (EDH), on the other hand, adopts a biconvex shape that is fundamentally focal in nature. During a 4V2year period two of 25 operatively proven cases of ASDH had a CT appearance of EDH. CT differential diagnosis is very difficult. The following cases are presented because, to our knowledge, this occurrence has not previously been recorded.

Encapsulated Unresolved Subdural Hematoma Mimicking Acute Epidural Hematoma: A Case Report.
Encapsulated acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) has been uncommonly reported. To our knowledge, a few cases of lentiform ASDH have been reported. The mechanism of encapsulated ASDH has been studied but not completely clarified. Encapsulated lentiform ASDH on a computed tomography (CT) scan mimics acute epidural hematoma (AEDH). Misinterpretation of biconvex-shaped ASDH on CT scan as AEDH often occu...
متن کاملContralateral acute subdural hematoma after surgical evacuation of the initial hematoma: two case reports and review of the literature.
Remote intracranial hemorrhages after craniotomy or craniectomy may rarely develop. As the sparse literature on this phenomenon has focused on contralateral intraparenchymal and epidural clots, only seven cases of postoperative contralateral acute subdural hematomas have been reported in the literature. We presented two patients who developed contralateral acute subdural hematomas after surgica...
متن کاملCoexistence of rapidly resolving acute subdural hematoma and delayed traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage.
Rapid resolution of acute subdural hematoma is rare. Delayed traumatic intracerebral hematomas following medical or surgical treatment of increased intracranial pressure have also been reported. Coexistence of a quickly resolving acute subdural hematoma and a delayed traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage has not been reported before. A 13-month-old boy was admitted to our emergency department afte...
متن کاملIntracranial extradural hematoma associated to sinusitis and subdural empyema.
Figure 1 CT-scan showed right frontal extra-axial collections suggesting an acute extradural hematoma (white arrows) associated to chronic subdural hematoma (black arrows). However, craniotomy showed that the supposed chronic subdural hematoma was a typical subdural empyema. This image illustrates the possible association between epidural hematoma and subdural empyema in patients with craniofac...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced CT of acute isodense subdural hematoma.
Originally, all acute subdural hematomas were thought to be hyperdense with respect to brain on CT (1 ). But over the last 1 0-15 years, cases of acute isodense subdural and epidural hematomas have been reported [2-6). Although contrast-enhanced CT has aided in the visualization of chronic isodense subdural hematomas [7), the use of contrast material was not efficacious in two of the acute isod...
