Redistribution of acute traumatic infratentorial subdural hematoma to the spinal subdural space

Soud Lek. 2018 Summer;63(3):25-28.

Abstract

Spinal subdural hematoma is a rare and potentionally life-threatening condition associated with trauma and other pathological conditions. In this paper we report the autopsy findings of a 64 year old male who was repeatedly hospitalized with traumatic head injuries in the past. In this case spinal subdural hematoma was diagnosed post-mortem and later comfirmed by ante-mortem CT scan revaluation. Keywords: intracranial subdural hematoma - recurrent spinal subdural hematoma - diffuse axonal injury - autopsy findings.
