Traumatic spinal subdural hematoma associated with intracranial subdural hematoma is a rare condition. Herein, we report the case of a 62-year-old man with lower back pain, radiating pain, and numbness in both lower extremities, without motor weakness, for 2 weeks. Lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed high signal intensity on T1-weighted image (WI), and low signal intensity on T2-WI...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Subdural hematoma is a known complication of long-term hemodialysis. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, AND MEASUREMENTS The US Renal Data System was used to determine the occurrence rate of nontraumatic subdural hematoma in long-term dialysis patients and to evaluate time trends. RESULTS The occurrence rate of subdural hematoma in long-term dialysis patients is 10 tim...

BACKGROUND Nasal hematoma/abscess is an uncommon entity, but capable of leading to serious consequences if not handled meticulously, and with urgency. OBJECTIVE To present the management, and outcome of nasal septal hematoma/abscess in a Nigerian tertiary institution. METHOD Consecutive patients diagnosed with nasal septal hematoma/abscess over a 10-year period, treated at the University of...

We describe a case in which a patient with a past medical history of ovarian cancer received a diagnostic renal biopsy for an incidentally discovered renal mass. During left robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN), a perinephric hematoma was encountered. The hematoma was not present on preoperative imaging and was likely a result of the renal biopsy. The renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and the associated ...

Rectus sheath hematoma is an uncommon and frequently misdiagnosed cause of acute abdominal pain3. Although the exact incidence is unknown, Klingler et al.6 observed 23 cases (1.8%) of rectus sheath hematoma among 1257 patients evaluated by ultrasound for acute abdominal disorders. It is defined as spontaneous in patients without history of abdominal trauma. In these cases, anticoagulation thera...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE For patients with ICH, knowing the rate of CT contrast extravasation may provide insight into the pathophysiology of hematoma expansion. This study assessed whether the PCT-derived PS can measure different rates of CT contrast extravasation for admission CTA spot signs, PCCT, PCL, and regions without extravasation in patients with ICH. MATERIALS AND METHODS CT was perfo...

BACKGROUND A postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is performed as a routine to assess decompression of the spinal cord as well as to evaluate postoperative complications. The purpose of this study is to analyze the efficacy of postoperative MRI for hematoma in spinal decompression surgery. METHODS Between January 1, 2008 and January 31, 2015, 185 patients who underwent postoperative...

Acute subperiosteal hematoma of orbit is a rare condition and its presentation with rapid severe diminution of vision is even rarest. Urgent intervention is required for these patients presenting with visual compromise. Needle aspiration is safe and simple procedure for management of such hematoma provided the patient presents early and does not have any associated complications. We present one...

One of the major complications of pelvic surgery is symptomatic pelvic hematoma, which is an accumulation of blood outside of blood vessels. It happens as a result of blood vessel damage, and blood abnormal leakage into tissues. Pelvic hematoma may be associated with pain, fever, and foul-smelling discharge. Most of what is published so far on symptomatic postoperative pelvic hematoma is limite...

BACKGROUND Retropharyngeal hematoma is a rare form of pharyngeal pathology and can present as acute airway obstruction. Among the many causes of retropharyngeal hematoma, thoracic aortic rupture is extremely rare. METHODS AND RESULTS A 78-year-old female with airway obstruction by a retropharyngeal hematoma secondary to thoracic aortic aneurysm rupture was successfully treated by total aortic...
