Abstract Introduction: Subdural hematoma is the most common type of hemorrhage as a shunt complication following ventriculoperitoneal procedures. This caused by rupture bridging veins between dura mater and brain due to suddenly developing decrease in intracranial pressure. On other hand, mechanism late epidural hemorrhage, shunt, could not been clarified very clearly. Case Presentation: A 7-ye...

The purpose of this study was to report a case with post-traumatic spinal epidural hematomas with abnormal neurologic findings, which is uncommon. A 40-year-old man presented at our clinic after a blunt trauma caused by a traffic accident in which he was a pedestrian. After admission, abnormal neurologic symptoms developed including loss of sensation and motor function in his left lower extremi...

BACKGROUND Traumatic clival epidural hematoma is an extremely rare reported entity. CASE DESCRIPTION We describe the case of a 26-year-old woman involved in a car accident who presented with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 13, bilateral abducens palsy, bilateral numbness on the mandibular territory of the trigeminal nerve, and left hypoglossal palsy. Radiological examinations revealed a clival ...

Spontaneous cervical epidural hematoma (SCEH) is a rare clinical entity and has a varied etiology. Urgent surgical decompression should be done to prevent serious permanent neurologic deficits. We describe a 59-year-old female who presented with Brown-Sequard syndrome due to spontaneous cervical epidural hematoma. Initially, she was misdiagnosed as cerebrovascular accident. Cervical magnetic re...

Spontaneous spinal epidural haematoma (SSEH) is rare. No identifiable cause is found in the majority of cases, while anticoagulation accounts for up to 17 percent of cases. Aspirin-associated SSEH, however, has rarely been described in literature. A 62-year-old man on prophylactic aspirin presented with symptoms of acute cord compression due to spinal epidural haematoma that was confirmed on ma...

An acute spinal epid ural hematoma is a neurosurgical emergency. If a prompt diagnosis is not made and decompression not undertaken shortly after the onset of symptoms, neurologic deficits are usually irreversible and death often ensues [1 -6]. Although early recog nition of this condition is possible with high-reso lution computed tomography (CT) because the hematoma may be directly visuali ze...
