Intracranial subdural hematoma associated with intracranial hypotension is a rare complication of dural puncture and other procedures on the dura. This report describes the case of a 25-year-old man who developed intracranial subdural hematoma after resection of a thoracic spinal cord tumor. Intracranial subdural hematoma could result in severe and permanent neurologic deficit if it remains unrecognized. Severe and prolonged postdural puncture headache should be regarded as a warning sign of an intracranial subdural hematoma, and in those patients early investigation is recommended.

We report a female patient in her 70s with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) who developed a left temporal lobar haemorrhage after the third dose of lecanemab, accompanied by non-traumatic haemorrhage in a pre-existing subdural hygroma, and was diagnosed with amyloid-related imaging abnormalities with haemorrhage. The patient exhibited mild verbal paraphasia and word recall difficulty but had no other major neurological deficits. There was no additional intracranial abnormality during the course of hospitalisation.

Background: Propofol is one of the most used intravenous anesthetic agents in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients undergoing emergency neurosurgical procedures. Despite being efficacious, its administration is associated with dose-related adverse effects. The use of adjuvants along with propofol aids in limiting its consumption, thereby mitigating the side effects related to propofol usage.

Intracranial hemorrhages are highly concerning but underreported complications related to flow diversion (FD) treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Herein, we aimed to characterize these complications and the factors influencing their occurrence. We retrospectively reviewed patients treated with FD from 2013 to 2023 at a single U.

: Post-hemicraniectomy patients often need extended intensive care treatment. While computed tomography (CT) is considered the gold standard for regular imaging, its frequent use could be linked to adverse clinical outcomes. This study aimed to assess bedside transcranial ultrasound (TUS) to capture intracranial anatomical structures and pathologies.
