Eruption hematoma is a macular elevation in the soft tissue of alveolar mucosa seen nearly during the tooth eruption. Commonly, it does not have any clinical symptoms. In most cases, the black dome shape appearance of eruption hematoma worries parents about malignancy. Since the physicians are often the firsts who examine the affected child, this lett...

Background: Adrenal hematoma is a very rare acquired cause of neonatal hypertension. In this study, we report a case of neonatal hypertension associated with adrenal hematoma. A male neonate was immediately transferred to our neonatal intensive care unit after delivery due to meconium aspiration. He needed to be on mechanical ventilation support. During his hospital stay, hospital records showe...

a 25-year-old man was admitted in hospital due to right side hemopneumothorax secondary to car accident. a chest tube was inserted. during the hospitalization days, chest ct scan revealed a 3cmx3 cm oval-shaped density located in the right upper lobe. since he was in a good general condition, he was discharged from hospital after removal of chest tube and a follow-up chest ct-scan was recommend...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A simple estimation method of intracerebral hematoma volume known as XYZ/2 method has been described previously. This method has also been shown to be valid for the estimation of acute subdural hematoma volume. However, chronic subdural hematomas differ in shape and extension from acute subdural hematomas, which makes the validity of the same method in the estimation of h...

Promoting hematoma absorption is a novel therapeutic strategy for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH); however, the mechanism of hematoma absorption is unclear. The present study explored the function and potential mechanism of CD36 in hematoma absorption using in vitro and in vivo ICH models. Hematoma absorption in CD36-deficient ICH patients was examined. Compared with patients with normal CD36 ex...

introduction: cardiovocal hoarseness (ortner’s syndrome) is hoarseness of voice due to recurrent laryngeal nerve involvement secondary to cardiovascular disease. recurrent laryngeal nerve in its course (especially the left side) follows a path that brings it in close proximity to numerous structures. these structures interfere with its function by pressure or by disruption of the nerve caused b...

Twenty patients with intracranial hematoma (ICH or IVH) were treated with direct infusion of urokinase through a catheter. Reduction of hematoma volume was observed within a few days. Twelve patients showed good or excellent outcome. No infection or rebleeding was observed.

Spinal epidural hematoma, a potentially devastating problem, requires rapid diagnosis and urgent surgical intervention. Two types of spinal epidural hematoma have been described in the literature: traumatic and nontraumatic.1 Traumatic spinal epidural hematoma has been attributed to spine surgery,2 epidural catheter placement,3 lumbar puncture,4 and chiropractic manipulation.5 Nontraumatic, or ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The Tada (ABC/2) formula has been used widely for volume assessment of intracerebral hematoma. However, the formula is crude for irregularly shaped hematoma. We aimed to compare the accuracy of the ABC/2 formula with open source software Slicer. METHODS Computed tomographic images of 294 patients with spontaneous intracerebral hematoma were collected. Hematoma volumes w...
