Recurrent Subdural Hematoma: A Case Report of Diagnostic Pitfall of Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension and Successful Management With Targeted Epidural Blood Patch

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Spontaneous intracranial hypotension should be considered in subdural hematoma cases without cerebral trauma or underlying disease, particularly among non‐elderly patients. Targeted epidural blood patch is recommended as a first‐line intervention prior to surgical management in cases of spontaneous intracranial hypotension‐induced subdural ...

Prognostic models for predicting posttraumatic seizures during acute hospitalization, and at 1 and 2 years following traumatic brain injury [PDF]

, 2016
Objective Posttraumatic seizures (PTS) are well-recognized acute and chronic complications of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Risk factors have been identified, but considerable variability in who develops PTS remains. Existing PTS prognostic models are

Hemicraniectomy after middle cerebral artery infarction with life-threatening Edema trial (HAMLET). Protocol for a randomised controlled trial of decompressive surgery in space-occupying hemispheric infarction [PDF]

, 2006
Background Patients with a hemispheric infarct and massive space-occupying brain oedema have a poor prognosis. Despite maximal conservative treatment, the case fatality rate may be as high as 80%, and most survivors are left severely disabled.

Expansion duroplasty improves intraspinal pressure, spinal cord perfusion pressure, and vascular pressure reactivity index in patients with traumatic spinal cord injury: injured spinal cord pressure evaluation study. [PDF]

, 2015
We recently showed that, after traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI), laminectomy does not improve intraspinal pressure (ISP), spinal cord perfusion pressure (SCPP), or the vascular pressure reactivity index (sPRx) at the injury site sufficiently because ...
