Intracranial subdural hematoma following dural puncture in a parturient with HELLP syndrome

Abstract: P Pu ur rp po os se e: : To present a case of postpartum bilateral intracranial subdural hematoma after dural puncture during attempted epidural analgesia for labour.C Cl li in ni ic ca al l f fe ea at tu ur re es s: : This complication occurred following accidental dural puncture in a parturient with thrombocytopenia (99,000·µL -1 ) who subsequently developed the syndrome of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets. On the first postoperative day, postdural puncture headache (PDPH) developed. An ep… Show more

“…However, there could be other predisposing factors in the development of subdural hematoma such as Valsalva maneuver, brain atrophy, minor trauma, or bleeding disorders. 9 Because PDPH worsens when the patient is upright and improves when recumbent, persistent headache despite bed rest or medication should suggest the possibility of other intracranial abnormalities. Subdural hematomas could also be differentiated from PDPH if there are accompanying focal neurologic deficits, which must be evaluated by computerized tomography or MRI.…”

“…anamnez, klinik muayene, düşük BOS basıncı ve kraniyal MRG görünümleri ile tanı koydukları dört olguda travma ve koagulasyon bozukluğu öyküsü olmaksızın intrakraniyal hipotansiyon sendromu gelişen ve izlemlerde büyük subdural hematom geliştiği için cerrahi drenaj uygulanan dört olgu sunmuşlardır. [12] Ezri ve ark.nın [12] bildirdiği, sınırda trombositopeni değeri olan HELLP Sendromu gelişen bir olguda kazara yapılan lomber ponksiyon sonrası kronik subdural hematom gelişmiştir. Sunduğumuz olguda subdural hematoma neden olacak predispozan özellikler yoktu.…”

“…Spinal anestezi uygulamalarında subdural hematom gelişme riski açısından efedrin kullanıldığında dikkatli olunmalıdır, efedrin gibi vazopressör ajanların kullanımı kan basıncında dal-galanmalara neden olarak intrakraniyal anevrizma ya da arteriovenöz malformasyonun rüptürünü kolaylaştırır. [12] Bu olguda ameliyatta ve ameliyat sonrası dönemde efedrin kullanılmadığı öğrenildi. Bu olguda subdural hematom olgu ve girişimle ilgili predispozan faktörler olmadan gelişmiştir.…”

“…The complication has been commonly observed after CSF shunting procedures 18, but it has also been reported occasionally in patients after LP 19 or lumbar myelography 20. Thrombocytopenia does not appear to be a necessary factor, but it may be contributory 21. Hence, a complaint of headache after LP should be handled with caution.…”
