“…3,10,15 Yet decompressive surgery results in increased morbidity, risk of spinal instability, postoperative pain, and CSF leakage. 16 Only isolated cases of anaphylaxis or angioedema in patients with thrombosis were observed. Interval laminectomy rarely provides adequate decompression of a solid clot.…”

✓The often extended and elongated configuration of a diffuse subdural hematoma of the spine makes it impossible to completely evacuate with common neurosurgical approaches. The authors describe the complete evacuation of a diffuse subdural hematoma of the entire spine due to trauma in a patient who suffered myelopathy and paraplegia in succession, by using transient subdural catheter lysis. After the patient underwent a partial hemilaminectomy at T7–8 and L2–3 using a lateral transmuscular approach, a 15 cm-long intraventricular catheter was inserted at each hemilaminectomy site and connected to an external ventricular drainage system in a procedure lasting 1 hour. Subsequently, 5000 IU of urokinase was applied four times daily for 30 minutes each time over the next 5 days. Two months later, the patient presented with spastic paraparesis Manual Muscle Test Grade 4/5. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed no catheter-related complications. The authors conclude from this case that transient catheter lysis may be an effective and gentle method to treat diffuse and elongated subdural hematomas of the spine due to trauma. A larger series needs to be analyzed, however, to address the indications and limitations of the technique compared with conventional open surgery. Such evaluation should include serial MR imaging and electrophysiological examination.

In order to keep subscribers up‐to‐date with the latest developments in their field, John Wiley & Sons are providing a current awareness service in each issue of the journal. The bibliography contains newly published material in the field of pharmacoepidemiology and drug safety. Each bibliography is divided into 20 sections: 1 Books, Reviews & Symposia; 2 General; 3 Anti‐infective Agents; 4 Cardiovascular System Agents; 5 CNS Depressive Agents; 6 Non‐steroidal Anti‐inflammatory Agents; 7 CNS Agents; 8 Anti‐neoplastic Agents; 9 Haematological Agents; 10 Neuroregulator‐Blocking Agents; 11 Dermatological Agents; 12 Immunosuppressive Agents; 13 Autonomic Agents; 14 Respiratory System Agents; 15 Neuromuscular Agents; 16 Reproductive System Agents; 17 Gastrointestinal System Agents; 18 Anti‐inflammatory Agents ‐ Steroidal; 19 Teratogens/fetal exposure; 20 Others. Within each section, articles are listed in alphabetical order with respect to author. If, in the preceding period, no publications are located relevant to any one of these headings, that section will be omitted.
