Contrecoup Extradural Hematoma with Coronal Suture Diastasis.

Extradural hematoma (EDH) generally occurs in the site of impact, that is, coup injury site. EDH is associated with fracture of skull in many a times due to direct impact. However, EDH in counter coup site is a rare occurrence.

A review of sub acute subdural hematoma (SASDH) with our institutional experience and its management by double barrel technique (DbT): A novel technique.

Background: Subacute subdural hematoma (SASDH) is an entity which is yet to capture the popular imagination among the neurosurgeons. Its management is often equated clinically to that of the chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). However, their neurological deterioration is usually rapid, which seems to align them with acute subdural hematoma (ASDH).

Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis arising from papillary thyroid carcinoma: A case report and review of literature.

Background: Intramedullary spinal cord metastases (IMSCM) are typically drop lesions from intracranial metastases and are a rare manifestation of systemic malignancy (8.5% of central nervous system metastases). They arise from primaries such as the lungs, breast, kidney, melanoma, or lymphoma.

Spectrum and outcome of traumatic brain injury in children <15 years: A tertiary level experience in India.

Background: Though, traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been documented as the single most common cause of morbidity and mortality in infancy and childhood, the exact incidence is unavailable in India. Moreover, modes of injury, mechanisms of damage, and management differ significantly from that of an adult.

Aims And Objectives: To analyze the epidemiological factors, the spectrum of TBI, modes of injury, types of injury, and the outcome in the children <15 years with TBI.

Congenital Malrotation of the Atlas with Unilateral Hypertrophy of the Atlanto-occipital Joint-A Rare Anomaly of the Craniovertebral Junction and Its Management.

Background: Congenital anomalies are commonly encountered in the craniovertebral junction because of its unique embryologic development. The craniovertebral junction usually comprises the occiput, atlas, and axis. However, malrotation of the atlas (C1) in between the occiput (C0) and axis (C2) with Chiari I malformation as well as unilateral hypertrophy of the atlanto-occipital joint and a lateral mass manifesting features of high cervical myelopathy is a rarely reported anomaly.

Intradural Spinal Arachnoid Cyst: A Long-Term Postlaminectomy Complication: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Background: Spinal arachnoid cysts are a rare cause of spinal cord compression. Intradural arachnoid cysts are rarer than extradural arachnoid cysts. Spinal arachnoid cysts are mostly congenital in origin.

Supratentorial extradural hematoma in children: An institutional clinical experience of 65 cases.

Aim And Objective: To survey the epidemiology, management, and severity of extradural hematoma (EDH) in children.

Materials And Methods: All patients of EDH (n = 65) in the age group of 0-16 years admitted to our department during the period of August 13 and July 14 were analyzed retrospectively from the hospital records. In all patients, age, sex, mode of injury, clinical presentation, site of EDH, management, duration of hospitalization, and outcome were evaluated.
