Rectus sheath hematoma usually occurs unilateral but rare cases of bilateral hematoma have been reported. Herein we report the first case of spontaneous bilateral Rectus Sheath Hematoma in the kidney transplanted patient.

INTRODUCTION The current use of arterial punctures, when obtaining arterial blood gas and acid-base status of patients, are associated with a risk of side effects such as pain and hematoma, and a small risk of more severe complications. This analysis investigated the cost-effectiveness of a new method, where less painful venous-converted tests are used as an alternative to arterial punctures. ...

BACKGROUND Perihematomal diffusion restriction (PDR) is a frequent finding in primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) on diffusion-weighted MRI. Its frequency, associated clinical and imaging findings and impact on clinical outcome are not well understood. METHODS This is a retrospective single-center analysis of 172 patients with primary ICH who received MRI within 24 h from symptom onset. PD...

Neonatal scrotal hematoma is a rare genitourinary emergency. Some cases have underlining aetiologic factors such as testicular torsion, adrenal hemorrhage, or birth trauma, and others are idiopathic. Previously, immediate scrotal exploration was considered imperative for diagnosis and treatment. With good imaging techniques, some patients are managed nonoperatively. We report a case of idiopath...

Rapid resolution of acute subdural hematoma is rare. Delayed traumatic intracerebral hematomas following medical or surgical treatment of increased intracranial pressure have also been reported. Coexistence of a quickly resolving acute subdural hematoma and a delayed traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage has not been reported before. A 13-month-old boy was admitted to our emergency department afte...

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...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Early hematoma expansion in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with worse clinical outcome. We hypothesized that hemodynamic parameters are associated with the increase in hematoma volume owing to their relationship to blood vessel wall stresses. METHODS We performed a post hoc analysis of clinical and computed tomography (CT) data from patients en...

BACKGROUND The diagnostic value of indirect computed tomographic venography (CTV), following thoracic computed tomographic angiography (CTA), has not been specifically evaluated in postpartum patients with suspected pulmonary embolism. OBJECTIVES To assess the diagnostic value of CTV in postpartum venous thromboembolism. METHODS We reviewed all CTA and CTV procedures performed during the la...

Introduction Right heart catheterization (RHC) is an invasive procedure providing direct and accurate measurements of hemodynamics of the cardiovascular system. Acute pulmonary vasoreactivity testing (APVT) following basal RHC in some patients is an established tool evaluating the reversibility of hypertension in the pulmonary vasculature. Aim We sought to assess the most common indications, ...
