Subarachnoid6

• Boxers have died during a bout or in the immediate aftermath due to traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) such as an acute subdural hematoma (SDH), epidural hematoma (EDH), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), intracranial hematoma and injury to the great vessels of the neck such as carotid or vertebral artery dissection. (lifesitenews.com)
• As a result, knockouts are common and combat sports unfortunately have a high incidence of acute traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) such as concussion, subdural hematoma, epidural hematoma, intracranial hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and cerebral contusion. (medpagetoday.com)
• It can also be divided based on the compartment into which the hemorrhage occurs, namely: (1) intramedullary (including hematomyelia), (2) subarachnoid (SAH), (3) subdural (SDH), and/or (4) epidural (EDH). (medscape.com)
• Some brain bleeds include an epidural hematoma, a subdural hematoma, and a subarachnoid hemorrhage. (autoaccident.com)
• Head injuries may cause bleeding in the brain tissue and the layers that surround the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage, subdural hematoma, epidural hematoma). (adam.com)

• A spinal subdural or epidural hematoma is an accumulation of blood in the subdural or epidural space that can mechanically compress the spinal cord. (msdmanuals.com)
• The physiology behind cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) accumulation within the subdural space is hypothesised to result from tears in the arachnoid membrane. (bmj.com)
• Early edema around the hematoma results from the release and accumulation of osmotically active serum proteins from the clot. (vin.com)

Thoracic3

• Spinal subdural or epidural hematoma (usually thoracic or lumbar) is rare but may result from back trauma, anticoagulant or thrombolytic therapy, or, in patients with bleeding diatheses, lumbar puncture. (msdmanuals.com)

Hygroma3

• However, subdural hygroma occurrence is a very rare complication after revision spinal fusion surgery. (bmj.com)
• When patients have a decreased motor grade, difficulty in voiding urine and neurological abnormalities after lumbar spine surgery, conus medullaris syndrome with a possible occurrence of subdural hygroma should be considered. (bmj.com)
• Spinal subdural hygroma (SSH) refers to excess fluid retention in the subdural space along the spine. (bmj.com)

Diagnosis1

• Diagnosis of a spinal subdural or epidural hematoma is by MRI or, if MRI is not immediately available, by CT myelography. (msdmanuals.com)

TBIs1

• The most common TBIs in sports are cerebral contusions, second-impact syndrome concussions, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and hematomas. (wikipedia.org)

Edema3

• The presence of a hematoma initiates edema and neuronal damage in surrounding parenchyma. (vin.com)
• Fluid begins to collect immediately in the region around the hematoma, and edema usually persists for up to 5 days, and in some cases as much as 2 weeks. (vin.com)
• This case suggests that, in the face of neuroimaging findings of significant edema and epidural blood, the clinical examination should dictate the management, especially in such complicated patients. (surgicalneurologyint.com)

Anesthesia2

• She had undergone a caesarean section under epidural anesthesia 4 days prior to her arrival in the ED. She was placed on heparin and then warfarin to treat a pulmonary embolism that was diagnosed immediately postpartum. (surgicalneurologyint.com)

(emofree.com)
• Signal density of the hematoma compared with the brain parenchyma changes over time after injury. (medscape.com)

Hemoglobin1

• The quantity of hemoglobin in the hematoma determines the amount of radiation absorbed. (medscape.com)
