Acute isodense subdural hematomas: a problem in anemic patients.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although numerous articles have appeared in the literature on chronic isodense subdural hematomas, acute isodense subdural hematomas have received little attention. An experimental model was developed that demonstrated that blood with reduced hemoglobin concentration, 8-10 g/dl, is isodense with the brain. Two anemic patients with acute isodense subdural hematomas are reported.

Contrast-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...
متن کاملAcute isodense subdural hematoma on computed tomography scan--diagnostic and therapeutic trap: a case report.
BACKGROUND Post-traumatic acute subdural hematomas generally appear hyperdense on a computed tomography scan. In the hyperacute stage, a subdural hematoma in rare cases appears heterogeneous with isodense images. This can pose a diagnostic problem and compromise patient care. Here we report a case of an isodense subdural hematoma and its management. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 5...
متن کاملThe computed tomographic attenuation and the age of subdural hematomas.
The sequential change in density (attenuation coefficient) of subdural hematomas (SDHs) in computed tomography (CT) is important in understanding the pathogenesis and evolution of SDHs. We retrospectively investigated the age of SDHs by CT in 446 cases. We included 30 cases of chronic SDHs, in whom the density was directly measured in the CT. The density of acute (within 7 days) SDH was hyperde...
متن کاملCorrelation of the ferrum and VEGF with magnetic resonance imaging in chronic subdural hematomas: a prospective study
In this study, we measured the level of ferrum ion and VEGF from the hematoma cavity fluid in chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH), and analyzed the relationship between these values with the CSDH diagnosis by MRI. The cranial MRI appearance of each CSDH were classified as hypodense, isodense, hyperdense, or mixed density. The concentrations of ferrum ions in serum and hematoma cavity fluid were me...
متن کاملNuclear magnetic resonance imaging of CT-isodense subdural hematomas.
Although computed tomography (CT) is an accurate means of diagnosing subdural hematoma [1] , 10%-25% of these lesions are isodense relative to underlying brain tissue, and accurate diagnosis in these cases is dependent on the detection of a number of indirect and sometimes subtle signs [14]. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging has shown great promise as a neuroradiologic tool by virtue of ...
