“…It has been known for some time that chronic subdural haematomas commonly occur in adults after disproportionately slight head injuries, sometimes when there is no reason to suppose that the head was ever injured at all. Meredith (1951) reported one such case in an adult after a fall on to the buttocks, and a senior American neurosurgeon (German et al, 1964) developed a subdural haematoma after his head had been jerked by the violent motion of the "bobsled" which he was riding at a fun fair.…”

SummarySubdural haematoma is one of the commonest features of the battered child syndrome; yet by no means all the patients so affected have external marks of injury on the head. This suggests that in some cases repeated acceleration/deceleration rather than direct violence is the cause of the haemorrhage, the infant having been shaken rather than struck by its parent. Such an hypothesis might also explain the remarkable frequency of the finding of subdural haemorrhage in battered children as compared with its incidence in head injuries of other origin, and the fact that it is so often bilateral.

A Motion Simulator Ride Associated With Headache and Subdural Hematoma: First Case Report

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We report the first case report of symptomatic bilateral subdural hematomas (SDH) associated with riding a centrifugal motion simulator ride. A previously healthy 55-year-old male developed new onset daily headaches 1 week after going on the ride that were due to symptomatic bilateral SDH requiring operative intervention with a full recovery. There was no history of other trauma or other systemic or intracranial abnormality to account for the development of the SDH. We review the headaches and other clinical features associated with chronic SDH. Twelve cases of roller coaster headaches due to SDH associated with riding roller coasters have been reported. The pathophysiology is reviewed, which we believe is the same mechanism that may be responsible in this case. Although it is possible that this neurovascular injury is truly rare, it is also possible that this injury is underreported as patients and physicians may not make the association or physicians have not reported additional cases. The risk of this injury likely increases with age, as the size of the subdural space increases, and may support the maxim that "roller coasters and simulators are for kids."

“…The authors attributed the subdural bleeding to the acceleration and deceleration of the brain induced by the vibration [9]. Acceleration and rotational forces experienced after a roller coaster ride had been attributed as a factor for developing a CSDH [5][6][7][8]. The head and brain movements while using a whole-body vibration machine for a few minutes may be comparable to a roller coaster ride.…”

“…An intracranial arachnoid cyst is also a predisposing factor in children and younger patients after minor head trauma [2][3][4]. Development of a CSDH after a roller coaster ride had been reported in the literature [5][6][7][8]. The acceleration and rotational forces that the head sustains during the roller coaster ride may cause the formation of the hematoma.…”

Unusual Etiology for a Chronic Subdural Hematoma: Whole-Body Vibration Machine

A chronic subdural hematoma is more common in the elderly, particularly after a minor trauma sustained several weeks before the diagnosis. The use of a whole-body vibration machine had not been reported as an etiology. We report an 80-year-old male patient without a history of head or body trauma who developed a bilateral chronic subdural hematoma and required surgery to drain the hematoma. Four weeks before the diagnosis, he purchased and used a whole-body vibration machine. The first time he used the whole-body vibration machine, he felt his brain vibrating and rotating and could not tolerate more than two minutes. The event was so annoying that he did not use it again. In this patient, using a whole-body vibration machine may have led to the formation of the chronic subdural hematoma.
