penetrating neck trauma is an important area of trauma care that has undergone evolution in the recent past. a remarkable number of changes have occurred in the treatment paradigm as new technologies have developed and as surgeons have explored the outcomes from different treatment protocols. therapy has evolved from no treatment (before effective anesthesia and instrumentation), to non operati...

spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (sshe) is a rare entity can have several reasons. its prevalence in population is 0.1 per 100,000 with the male to female ratio of 1/4:1. for the first time jackson in 1869 reported a case of sshe and after that it was declared as several hundred cases in literatures. here, a case of sshe was reported in a 52 year-old male referred to emergency department fo...

spontaneous adrenal hematoma is a very rare condition and its prevalence has been reported to be about 1% in previous studies. although various causes have been proposed to explain its incidence in existing case reports, the etiology and pathology of this condition is still not known. the present study presents a case of spontaneous adrenal hematoma in a pregnant 31 year old woman without histo...

The incidence of subdural hematoma is approximately 13.1/100.000 per year. Subdural hematoma due to skull and dura mater metastases is rare. In this study, a 71-year-old patient with prostate adenocarcinoma who presented with chronic subdural hematoma due to skull bone and dura mater metastasis is presented.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most serious and potentially fatal complication of oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT). Still, there are no universally accepted treatment regimens for patients with OAT-ICH, and randomized controlled trials do not exist. The aim of the present study was to compare the acute treatment strategies of OAT-associated ICH using vitamin K (VAK...

This report describes a 66-year-old man who presented with progressive paraparesis after a fall. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an acute spinal hematoma at T11-12 with spinal cord compression. The patient underwent an emergency left T11-12 hemilaminectomy. The hematoma was subarachnoid and the source of bleeding was an injured radicular vein. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first r...

An intramural hematoma of the gastrointestinal tract could be precipitated by an endoscopic examination, especially in patients being administered anticoagulation therapy or those with concomitant hematological diseases. Although an intramural hematoma can be primarily associated with a biopsy or therapeutic procedure, occurrence of a spontaneous intramural hematoma during a diagnostic colonosc...

Spontaneous retropharyngeal hematoma is rare and difficult to diagnosis early. A 23-year-old male spontaneously developed acute onset of neck pain, limitation of neck motion, and mild dysphagia. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated blood products in prevertebral space from C2 to C4, suggesting a diagnosis of retropharyngeal hematoma. We report a rare case of spontaneous retropharyngeal hemat...
