Spontaneous spinal epidural haemorrhage: good results after early treatment.

Extravasation of blood in the spinal epidural space is an uncommon but often disastrous problem. Severe trauma, anticoagulants, bleeding diatheses, and intraspinal vascular malformations have been associated with such haemorrhage, but occasionally it occurs without apparent cause. It may then be confused with transverse myelopathy or vascular occlusion. Early diagnosis by myelography and treatment by surgery can result in good recovery, as illustrated by two cases.

Clinical, arteriographic, and cisternographic observations after removal of acute subdural hematoma.

The authors review 47 patients with closed-head injuries requiring treatment for acute subdural hematoma and report that 21 (45%) survived for 5 days or more. Follow-up study of these 21 survivors led to the following observations: that clinical evaluation of these patients is the most reliable index of their postoperative progress; that the diagnostic usefulness of postoperative cerebral arteriograms is limited because immediate postoperative changes tend to persist; that craniotomy is preferable to burr holes for removal of an acute hematoma; and that the value of cisternography, unless done serially, is limited since posttraumatic hydrocephalus develops rapidly and may persist indefinitely.
