“…An EDH can develop regionally; adjacently; or distantly, in a remote area that is removed from the operation site [ 1 ]. There are some reports of remote EDHs that occurred after a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt operation [ 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 ] or a decompressive craniectomy [ 15 16 ]. Few cases of postoperative remote EDHs after brain tumor surgery have been reported [ 2 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 ], especially in posterior fossa surgery [ 24 25 26 27 ].…”

A postoperative epidural hematoma (EDH) is a serious and embarrassing complication, which usually occurs at the site of operation after intracranial surgery. However, remote EDH is relatively rare. We report three cases of remote EDH after brain tumor surgery. All three cases seemed to have different causes of remote postoperative EDH; however, all patients were managed promptly and showed excellent outcomes. Although the exact mechanism of remote postoperative EDH is unknown, surgeons should be cautious of the speed of lowering intracranial pressure and implement basic procedures to prevent this hazardous complication of brain tumor surgery.

“…Epidural bleeding in this context is a rare condition reported in medical literature. [5][6][7] Both acute and chronic subdural hematomas may be consequence of ventricular shunting malfunctioning, and surgical treatment may be indicated in some cases depending on the lesion mass effect (thickness of the lesion, cortical compression and midline structure shift), as well as neurological symptoms (for a review, see Requejo et al). 8 Although a subdural hematoma is a common entity in neurosurgical practice, giant presentations of this lesion are unusual, and only few cases, of variable causes, have been reported in the literature.…”

Introduction?Hydrocephalus is a frequent neurological condition in childhood. The most common approach to this disease is still ventricular shunting. However, shunting problems, including catheter infection or shunting malfunctioning, contribute to several complications, such as extra-axial hematomas, which are a possibly life-threatening. Case report?We report the case of a 6-month-old female infant victim of brain trauma. She was previously shunted because of an obstructive hydrocephalus consequent of an aqueductal stenosis diagnosed early after birth. After brain injury, initial symptoms were only irritability and horizontal nystagmus. A computed tomography scan revealed an extra-axial mass lesion that suggested a giant globular extradural hematoma. The patient was submitted to a small exploratory craniectomy to evacuate the blood clot. Surprisingly, the supposed extradural hematoma was, in fact, a chronic subdural hematoma with an unusual shape. After the surgical drainage, the patient remained asymptomatic. No lesion recurrence has been detected so far. Conclusions?The case illustrates a very uncommon and interesting presentation of a common neurosurgical disease. A full characterization of the lesion and its pathophysiology is made, and a particular surgical management is proposed and thoroughly discussed.

“…Akut epidural hematomlarda kanama genellikle arteriyel orijinli iken, subakut ve kronik süreçte görülen epidural hematomlar venöz orijinlidir (1,3). Travma dışında koagülopati, konnektif doku hastalıkları, artmış vasküler frajilite, enfeksiyon ve kranial invaziv girişimler gibi birçok farklı nedene bağlı olarak epidural hematomlar görülebilmektedir (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). Epidural hematomlar genellikle travma tarafında ve tek taraflı görülmektedir.…”

GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Bu çalışmanın amacı literatür ışığı altında çoklu epidural hematomların ve klinik özelliklerinin gözden geçirilmesi ve tartışılmasıdır. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Bu çalışmada tıbbi literatürde yayınlanan çoklu epidural hematom olguları toplandı ve kliniğimizden yayınlanmamış bir olgu eklendi. BULGULAR:Yaptığımız literatür taramasında arama kriterlerimizi sağlayan 50 adet makale bulundu. Bunların 38 tanesi tekli olgu sunumları iken, 12 makale çoklu olgu sunumları ve klinik serilerden oluşmaktaydı. Olguların büyük çoğunluğunda bilateral epidural hematom saptandı. Sadece 7 olguda ikiden fazla epidural hematom tespit edildi. İki olgu dışında tüm olgularda cerrahi tedavinin uygulandığı görüldü. TARTIŞMA ve SONUÇ: İntrakraniyal epidural hematomlar genellikle kafa travmasına sekonder gelişirler ve tek taraflı oluşurlar. Çokluepidural hematomlar oldukça nadir olgulardır ve prognozları genellikle operasyon öncesi nörolojik durum ile bağlantılıdır.
