1/6. Phenoprocoumon, head trauma and delayed intracerebral haemorrhage.Delayed traumatic intracerebral haemorrhage (DTICH) constitutes a serious complication of head injury, and several studies have set out to identify predisposing clinical variables and appropriate management strategies. Here we report a distinct and particularly malignant course of DTICH associated with oral anticoagulant therapy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/6. An unusual case of traumatic intracranial hemorrhage caused by wakeboarding.Wakeboarding is a relatively new and exciting sporting activity which is similar to water-skiing. While there have been several reports of water-skiing-related injuries, there has been nothing reported in the literature so far concerning injuries in wakeboarding. We present the case of a 14-year-old male who sustained an unusual intracranial subdural hemorrhage while wakeboarding and postulate on the mechanisms which could have resulted in the injury.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.28545546679092keywords = subdural (Clic here for more details about this article) |

MRI and CT findings of infected cephalhaematoma complicated by skull vault osteomyelitis, transverse venous sinus thrombosis and cerebellar haemorrhage.We present the CT and MRI findings of an 8-day-old infant with an infected cephalhaematoma complicated by skull osteomyelitis, venous sinus thrombosis and left cerebellar haemorrhage.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.9014634267847keywords = haemorrhage, haematoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/6. Intracranial hemorrhage and rebleeding in suspected victims of abusive head trauma: addressing the forensic controversies.Does an expanded subarachnoid space predispose to subdural bleeding? What does heterogeneity in the appearance of a subdural collection on CT or MRI imaging indicate? Spontaneous rebleeding? Minor re-injury? Major re-injury? In some specific cases, answers to these questions have important forensic implications. To conclude objectively that an infant's intracranial hemorrhage or rebleeding resulted from inflicted injury or re-injury requires an in-depth understanding of the pathogenesis of posttraumatic subdural and subarachnoid collections. The authors present two cases of indoor, accidental, pediatric, closed-head trauma that resulted in intracranial rebleeding. Both accidental cranial impacts occurred in medical settings and were independently witnessed by medical personnel. In addition, the authors summarize the relevant medical literature regarding pediatric intracranial bleeding and rebleeding.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85636640037275keywords = subdural (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/6. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis manifesting as bilateral subdural effusion.Three patients with bilateral subdural effusion, an exclusive manifestation of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), are presented. A possible explanation of this rare occurrence is provided, and the differential therapeutic strategies are discussed. We propose to consider CVST in cases of subdural effusions of obscure origin. Appropriate imaging studies should not be delayed if there is suspicion of sinus thrombosis to enable adequate therapy to be started as soon as possible.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.7127328007455keywords = subdural (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/6. Usefulness of post-mortem ophthalmological endoscopy during forensic autopsy: a case report.Post-mortem intraocular findings in two autopsy cases with traumatic intracranial haemorrhage were obtained using an ophthalmological endoscope. The endoscopy results clearly revealed the presence of intraocular haemorrhages and papilledema caused by intracranial haemorrhage. Post-mortem ophthalmological endoscopy offers several benefits. First, post-mortem intraocular findings can be directly observed in corpses with post-mortem clouding of the cornea. Secondly, the endoscopy only requires a 0.9 mm incision in the sclera and does not require the removal of the eye from the corpse, a procedure that should be avoided for ethical and cosmetic reasons. Thus, post-mortem opthalmological endoscopy is a useful method for obtaining intraocular findings in autopsies.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.6keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
