Acute Epidural-Like Appearance of an Encapsulated Solid Non-organized Chronic Subdural Hematoma -Case Report-

Abstract: We report the exceptional case of an encapsulated solid non-organized chronic subdural hematoma (SDH) in a 67-year-old woman that was admitted with acute hemiplegia followed by rapid deterioration in consciousness 5 months after a minor head trauma. Computed tomography (CT) showed an extracerebral biconvex shaped hyperdense mass that led to the misdiagnosis of an acute epidural hematoma. Urgent craniotomy revealed an encapsulated mass filled with solid fresh clot in the subdural space. Complete evacuation of t… Show more

“…Weigel et al recomendam a craniotomia como última opção, quando há recidiva do HSDCr 43 . Para muitos autores a craniotomia é o tratamento de escolha quando o hematoma se apresenta organizado, heterogêneo e multilocular em exames de imagem (Figura 1) 6,12,17,28,31,34,40,42 , a fim de permitir a expansão do cérebro 13 e evitar recidivas 6,23,37 . Outras indicações citadas são a presença de coágulos sólidos, a não expansão do cérebro após as trepanações e a presença substancial de componente agudo.…”

“…21 KSDH olguların ço-ğunda, dura mater altında dış zar, araknoid mater üzerinde bir iç zar olan içi kanlı sıvı ile dolu fibröz bir kapsülden oluşur. 22 Belirgin bir proliferasyon ve frajiliteye sahip olan kapsül damarları KSDH gelişi-minde en önemli faktördür. 23 Neomembranın kalınlığı ve bileşimi, hematomun yaşına bağlı olarak olgudan olguya değişkenlik gösterir.…”
