UNLABELLED OBJECTIVE : To describe a surgical technique and to report using a retrospective study the efficacy of peritoneal shunts for the treatment of recurrent/chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). We describe the considerations, complications, and outcomes related to this technique. METHODS : In a retrospective cohort study, 125 charts with a diagnosis of subacute/chronic subdural hematoma were...

We present a case of a 59-year-old man who was found to have clusters of hyperchromatic, small, round nucleated cells within a subdural hematoma removed after a skull fracture. Immunohistochemistry study confirmed that the cells were hematopoietic components predominantly composed of normoblasts. In this paper, we describe the clinical and pathological findings. A brief review of published info...

There is little information concerning the correlation between clinical and CT findings in chronic subdural hematoma . This study was performed on 69 hematoma patients to find correlations between CT findings and GCS. Ninety one percent of patients were male and 9℅ were female. The average age was 63. In 87℅ of cases, the lesions was unilateral and in the remaining 13℅ , it was bilateral. The r...

Sir, Subdural hematoma has a higher mortality rate with hemodialysis patients than the normal population but it rarely occurs in association with chronic peritoneal dialysis. We describe for the first time a case of chronic renal failure on CAPD for last two years who developed spontaneous subdural hematoma, managed successfully with surgical treatment. The development of subdural hematoma in t...

A 63-year-old male with a preexisting chronic subdural hematoma presented with progressive confusion and left hemiparesis as well as high fever. Subdural empyema was strongly suspected. At surgery, the empyema was encapsulated by definite inner and outer membranes. Cultures isolated from the subdural fluid and from an abscess of his left thigh yielded methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus...

Chronic subdural hematoma is a very rarely observed complication after endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV). A 21-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with complaining of headache, weakness and tremor. The fundoscopic examination revealed slightly indistinct border of the papilla and neurological examination findings were normal. The cranial computed tomographic (C...

A case of calcified chronic subdural hematoma was presented. This patient was a 51-year-old man, who had a dizzy spell with headache and vomiting. He was examined by MR study as well as CT scan. The operation was performed and the calcified subdural hematoma was removed safely. MR study is very useful for the preoperative evaluation.

He had been delivered with forceps after a long difficult labor. He still carried prominent forceps markings behind each ear and a deep scar over the occiput. During the first few months of life he developed a mark...
