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...

Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Tokyo Chronic subdural hematoma is a common disease. Occasionally, however, it is so puzzling to make a diagnosis clearly and immediately, that the delay of the manage ment may occur. So the purpose of this paper is to clarify the general picture of chronic subdural hematoma from a statistical analysis in 309 adult cases . Through t...

The Mount Fuji sign is seen in bilateral subdural hypertensive pneumocephalus. These air collections cause compression of the frontal lobes, which take a shape similar to the silhouette of Mount Fuji. It is most commonly seen after surgical decompression of a chronic subdural hematoma. However, it may also be observed following head trauma, otogenic infections, nitrous oxide anesthesia and diving.

Acute subdural hematoma is usually a neurological emergency that requires hematoma evacuation or close observation. However, spontaneous resolutions of an acute subdural hematoma without surgical interventions have been reported rarely. We report on a case who showed rapid resolution of an acute subdural hematoma with neurological improvement and review the relevant literatures.

Recent reports have shown that administration of Gorei-san (Tsumura, Tokyo, Japan) can prevent recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). However, no report has shown its potential, including its correlation with other recurrent clinical factors. We retrospectively evaluated the recurrent factors and the effects of Gorei-san on CSDH using percutaneous subdural tapping. Between April 2009 a...

BACKGROUND The high recurrent rate of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) has consistently confused the neurosurgeons, and the role of atorvastatin in the management of CSDH has remained unclear over past decade, and atorvastatin seems to be a safe and cost-effective treatment to CSDH. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a systematic review to discuss the effect of atorvastatin in CSDH. METHOD...

A 65 year old man, anticoagulated for cardiac problems, developed hemiparesis while training for race walking. A computed tomography scan showed a chronic subdural haematoma. This is the first report of a chronic subdural haematoma possibly caused by the jarring action of race walking.
