Spinal extradural haematoma or spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is bleeding into the epidural space in the spine. These may arise spontaneously (e.g. during childbirth), or as a rare complication of epidural anaesthesia or of surgery (such as laminectomy). [citation needed] Symptoms usually include back pain which radiates to the arms or the legs ...
Epidural hematoma is when bleeding occurs between the tough outer membrane covering the brain (dura mater) and the skull. [4] When this condition occurs in the spinal canal, it is known as a spinal epidural hematoma. [4] There may be loss of consciousness following a head injury, a brief regaining of consciousness, and then loss of ...
Subdural hematoma maybe less acute than epidural hematoma due to slower blood accumulation, but it still has the potential to cause brain herniation that may require surgical evacuation. [3] Clinical features depend on the site of injury and severity of injury. Patients may have a history of loss of consciousness but they recover and do not ...
Most subdural hygromas are believed to be derived from chronic subdural hematomas. They are commonly seen in elderly people after minor trauma but can also be seen in children following infection or trauma. One of the common causes of subdural hygroma is a sudden decrease in pressure as a result of placing a ventricular shunt.
Intramuscular hematoma at buttocks as a result of a sports injury Left to right: Epidural, subdural, and intracranial hematoma of the brain Hematoma of the ankle caused by a 3rd degree sprain. Subdermal hematoma (under the skin) Intramuscular hematoma (inside muscle tissue) Skull/brain: Subgaleal hematoma – between the galea aponeurosis and ...
Spinal cord stroke is a rare type of stroke with compromised blood flow to any region of spinal cord owing to occlusion or bleeding, leading to irreversible neuronal death. [1] It can be classified into two types, ischaemia and haemorrhage, in which the former accounts for 86% of all cases, a pattern similar to cerebral stroke.
Epidural Subdural Location Between the skull and the inner meningeal layer of the dura mater or between outer endosteal and inner meningeal layer of dura mater: Between the meningeal layers of dura mater and the Arachnoid mater: Involved vessel Temperoparietal locus (most likely) – Middle meningeal artery Frontal locus – anterior ethmoidal ...
An epidural hematoma is a collection of blood between the dura and the inner surface of the skull, and is usually due to arterial bleeding. Intradural procedures, such as removal of a brain tumour or treatment of trigeminal neuralgia via a microvascular decompression , require that an incision is made to the dura mater.
