Chronic subdural hematoma associated with arachnoid cyst. Two case histories with pathological observations.

Arachnoid cysts are well known to induce chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) after head injury. However, histological observations of the arachnoid cyst and hematoma membrane have only been rarely described. An 8-year-old boy and a 3-year-old boy presented with CSDH associated with arachnoid cyst.

[Vertebral arteriovenous fistula as a complication of atlantoaxial transarticular screw fixation--case report].

The patient was a 44-year-old male with a history of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. He had undergone an atlantoaxial transarticular screw fixation for an atlantoaxial dislocation.
