1/3. Spontaneous subdural haematoma in anabolic steroids dependent weight lifters: reports of two cases and review of literature.Spontaneous subdural haematoma is very rare in young patients. The complications of anabolic steroid intake in weight lifters are numerous, yet subdural haematomas have not been reported. We report on two cases of spontaneous subdural haematomas in young weight lifters. Both patients underwent surgical evacuation and made a full recovery. A review of the literature on the complications associated with valsalva manoeuvres is also presented including hemodynamic and intracranial changes. We propose that patients on chronic anabolic steroids may have vascular changes that predispose them to bleeding during a Valsalva manoeuvre (VM).- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = haematoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. Subdural haemorrhage following endoscopic third ventriculostomy. A rare complication.Subdural collections or hematomas are frequently observed after shunt placement [7-9, 13], but rarely after ETV [6]. A review of literature revealed 7 cases [1, 5, 6, 10, 12], of which only 1 was symptomatic [5]. We will discuss the causes, management, and methods of prevention of this complication and we will present a case of symptomatic subdural haematoma, following endoscopic third ventriculostomy for illustration.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = haematoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. The "Moya" you look, the "Moya" you find.A middle-aged woman was admitted to hospital after a motor vehicle accident. A large acute intracranial haematoma was initially thought to be traumatic in origin, but its unusual position and the lack of external features of head trauma prompted investigation for other causes of intracerebral haemorrhage. Moyamoya intracranial vascular abnormalities were diagnosed. We discuss the presentation of non-traumatic intracranial haemorrhage in the setting of presumed trauma, and the unusual conditions of moyamoya syndrome and moyamoya disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = haematoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
