Article Synopsis
- Chronic subdural hematomas (CSDHs) primarily affect elderly individuals and are typically treated with a simple burr hole surgery, though rare complications can occur, such as various types of hemorrhages.
- An 89-year-old man with CSDH experienced right-side weakness and underwent surgery, leading to a CT scan revealing an unexpected acute intraventricular hemorrhage the next day.
- This case highlights the unusual occurrence of intraventricular hemorrhage following CSDH drainage, potentially caused by shifts in the brain structure and increased blood flow after the procedure.
Sphenoid wing dural arteriovenous fistula: A case report and literature review.
Surg Neurol Int
December 2020
Background: Sphenoid wing dural arteriovenous fistula (SWDAVF) is rare that is typically fed by middle meningeal artery feeders and that drain through the sphenoparietal sinus or middle cerebral vein. Here, we report a case of SWDAVF treated by coils placed in the venous aneurysm through the contralateral cavernous sinus (CS).
Case Description: A 37-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with headache and bilateral oculomotor nerve palsy.
Objectives: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a common form of intracranial hemorrhage with a high recurrence rate. This study aimed to determine the CSDH recurrence rate associated with preoperative computed tomography (CT) findings and the pathological examination of the dura and the outer membrane.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with CSDH who underwent surgery in our hospital between May 2010 and November 2019.
A number of rare and unpredictable shunt-related complications after shunt placement to treat hydrocephalus have been described. Here a 78-year-old man who underwent lumboperitoneal (LP) shunt placement presented postoperatively with recurrent hiccups. Abdominal radiography and computed tomography performed at 7 days postoperative revealed that a peritoneal catheter had migrated into the upper abdominal cavity and contacted the diaphragm.
