Why do bridging veins rupture into the virtual subdural space?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electron microscopic data on human bridging veins show thin walls of variable thickness, circumferential arrangement of collagen fibres and a lack of outer reinforcement by arachnoid trabecules, all contributory to the subdural portion of the vein being more fragile than its subarachnoid portion. These features explain the laceration of veins and the subdural location of resultant haematomas.

Shaken baby syndrome: the quest for evidence
Shaken baby syndrome (SBS), characterized by the triad of subdural haemorrhage, retinal haemorrhage, and encephalopathy, was initially based on the hypothesis that shaking causes tearing of bridging veins and bilateral subdural bleeding. It remains controversial. New evidence since SBS was first defined three decades ago needs to be reviewed. Neuropathology shows that most cases do not have tra...
متن کاملSubdural Hematoma Intracranial Adults
General Information Subdural hemorrhage is bleeding below the dural membrane, whereas epidural hemorrhage, as previously discussed, is bleeding above the dura, i.e. between the dura and the overlying calvarium or base of the skull. The most common cause of a subdural hematoma is some form of direct impact trauma either as the result of an assault, fall or vehicular accident. Acute subdural hemo...

CSDH is an encapsulated collection of old blood, mostly liquefied and located between the dura mater and arachnoid. It was first described in the literature by Virchow in 1857 as “pachymeningitis haemorrhagica interna”. Later Trotter put forward the theory of traumatic rupture of bridging veins as a cause of what he named “subdural haemorrhagic cyst”. A history of head trauma is not always esse...
متن کاملPostpartum subdural hygroma after epidural analgesia.
THE formation of cranial subdural hematomas after lumbar puncture is a well-known complication of spinal anesthesia, although rare in young patients. Pathogenesis of this condition has been related to rupture of bridging veins joining the cerebral surface and the dura mater. The precipitating event in these cases is the continuous leakage of cerebrospinal fluid through the dural hole. More unus...
