A 35-year-old male was admitted with headache, nausea, and vomiting persisting for 2 days. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a left chronic subdural hematoma. Cerebral angiography demonstrated cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). He had presented with a subcutaneous mass involving the neck at age 2 years, which was shown to be a cavernous angioma, and thereafter shown signs of consumptive c...

A 44-year-old female fainted when she went to the bathroom at midnight. There was a bruise over her right cheek when she regained consciousness. The patient had no headache or neurological defects on physical examination. The computed tomographic (CT) scan of the brain showed a chronic subdural hematoma over the right fronto-parietal lobe 12 weeks after the fainting episode. She took a modifica...

Subdural hematoma (SDH) is a rare complication of immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) the incidence being around 2%. Although SDH usually occurs secondary to trauma, in bleeding disorders it may occur spontaneously. Here we report subdural hematoma in two uncommon settings, one patient with systemic sclerosis developing secondary ITP and consequently subdural hematoma and the other patient wi...

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.

2015 Use of antegrade dissection re-entry techniques for crossing coronary chronic total occlusions may occasionally fail due to subintimal hematoma formation. We describe use of the retrograde approach to successfully complete a right coronary artery chronic total occlusion intervention, in which re-entry was not possible after subintimal guidewire crossing due to extensive subintimal hematoma...

INTRODUCTION Spontaneous thyroid hemorrhage is a rare occurrence that results in pain, discomfort, and occasionally compressive symptoms. Infrequently, extensive thyroid hemorrhage can result in a rapidly expanding hematoma resulting in airway compromise. This is a case of an otherwise healthy young woman, 3 months postpartum, with a slowly expanding spontaneous thyroid hemorrhage that measured...

Lateral abdominal wall hematoma is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition. We report a case of a spontaneous lateral abdominal wall hematoma that developed in a patient with severe cough caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation. The hematoma resolved with conservative management.

Subdural hematoma is a rare cause of parkinsonism. We present the case of a 78-year-old man with right-side dominant parkinsonism about 3 months after a minor head injury. MRI reveals a chronic subdural hematoma on the left side with mildly displaced midline structures. The parkinsonian features were almost completely disappeared after neurosurgical evacuation of the hematoma without any anti-p...
