Pyogenic abscess complicating a resolving cerebral haematoma secondary to a cavernous haemangioma: Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings

JOURNAL OF MEDICAL IMAGING AND RADIATION ONCOLOGY, Issue 2 2005
AD Borsaru
Summary A case is discussed of a brain abscess complicating an intracerebral haemorrhage occurring in a cavernous haemangioma. A young child presented with focal seizures as a result of a large intracerebral haemorrhage, occurring in a cavernous haemangioma. The only clue to the underlying vascular malformation was the presence of an associated developmental venous anomaly. The case was complicated by the development of a brain abscess at the site of the intracranial haematoma. The CT and MRI findings are discussed. [source]

Extradural haematoma secondary to brown snake (Pseudonaja species) envenomation

AUSTRALIAN VETERINARY JOURNAL, Issue 4 2009
RKC Ong
A 4-year-old Siberian Husky dog was treated with brown snake antivenom by his regular veterinarian after a witnessed episode of brown snake envenomation. The dog was discharged 5 hours post presentation despite an ongoing coagulopathy. The dog was presented to the emergency centre 2 hours later because the owner believed the dog to be in pain. Initial examination revealed an ambulatory but neurologically normal patient with thoracolumbar pain and laboratory evidence of a coagulopathy. Despite correction of the coagulopathy, the signs progressed to bilateral hind limb paresis after approximately 3 hours of hospitalisation, and continued to deteriorate over the next 56 hours to loss of deep pain perception in the right hind limb. Computed tomography imaging identified the presence of an extradural haematoma which was subsequently removed via a hemilaminectomy. Surgical decompression was successful in treating the spinal compression and the dog recovered with minimal complications. To our knowledge this is the first report of extradural haematoma secondary to coagulopathy induced by brown snake envenomation. [source]

Case of recurrent macular haemorrhage after removal of a sub-internal limiting membrane haematoma secondary to retinal artery macroaneurysm

CLINICAL & EXPERIMENTAL OPHTHALMOLOGY, Issue 6 2006
Kazuki Hotta MD
Abstract The authors report the case of an 80-year-old man with sub-internal limiting membrane haematoma secondary to retinal artery macroaneurysm in the right eye. Corrected visual acuity was 6/60 in the right eye. Vitreous surgery was performed. The internal limiting membrane over the haematoma was removed by pulling with a soft-tipped extrusion cannula, and then the haematoma was removed with a vitreous cutter. One month post surgery vision had improved to 6/9. Two months post surgery, however, the same macroaneurysm ruptured again, and vision decreased to 6/60. Clinicians should be aware that recurrent macular haemorrhage may occur after removal of sub-internal limiting membrane haematoma secondary to macroaneurysm. [source]
