Acute spontaneous subdural hematoma secondary to ruptured arteriovenous malformation: A rare entity.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Acute spontaneous subdural hematoma (ASSDH) due to ruptured arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is exceptional. There were only four reported cases. In this paper, we present a successful multimodality treatment of the ASSDH secondary to ruptured AVM.

Case presentation

A 21-year-old healthy man with no history of trauma presented to our hospital with complaints of severe headache for 12 hours before admission. On examination, he was alert and oriented. He had no intracranial hypertension, meningismus, and neurological deficits. Computed tomography illustrated a right acute subdural hematoma 8mm in thickness with a 5mm midline shift and a right frontal intraparenchymal hemorrhage 40 × 25mm in size. Digital subtraction angiography showed a 2 × 3 cm right frontal AVM, Spetzler-Martin grade I. The feeding arteries were cortical branches of the right anterior cerebral artery, and drain veins were cortical veins. He received emergency preoperative embolization followed by hematoma evacuation and total excision of the malformation. His headache was relieved and disappeared after a week. No postoperative neurological deficits were reported.

Clinical discussion

Elective surgical resection of AVM after 4-6 weeks was preferred in patients with no risk factors of rebleeding. Emergent surgery was only indicated for significant mass effect or acute hydrocephalus. Preoperative embolization is helpful for the presence of intra-nidal or peri-nidal aneurysm, AVM with high grades, reducing intraoperative blood loss and occlusion of deep vessels.

Conclusion

ASSDH due to ruptured AVM is rare and easy to omit in clinical settings. Preoperative embolization and surgical excision are effective treatments.

Successful Endovascular Treatment of a Ruptured Giant Lumbar Arteriovenous Malformation.

Project description:Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare congenital vascular anomalies where rupture can be fatal. This report describes a case of a 69-year-old woman who presented with sudden severe lower back pain radiating to her left buttock and thigh and an inability to move her left leg. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) showed an extensive ruptured retroperitoneal AVM on the left paravertebral side with active bleeding and a large hematoma. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation with considerable blood transfusion was required. The AVM was effectively treated with coil embolization of the feeding lumbar arteries. Shortly after the intervention, the patient developed abdominal compartment syndrome. Urgent laparotomy with evacuation of the retroperitoneal hematoma was required. The patient was discharged 16 days after admission in a good physical condition and has been free of symptoms for more than a year after intervention. However, follow-up CTA showed residual contrast enhancement in the AVM and further surveillance is required.

A Non-Resolving "Hematoma" Diagnosed as an Arteriovenous Malformation by POCUS.

Project description:Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a useful tool for the evaluation of soft tissue masses. We present the case of a patient with a mass on his forehead initially thought to be a slowly resolving hematoma. POCUS examination of the mass revealed a vascular structure more consistent with a post-traumatic arteriovenous malformation (AVM). This case illustrates how POCUS can be utilized to rapidly assess soft tissue masses and even identify unexpected vascularity.

A Rare Association of Congenital Asplenia with Jejunal Arteriovenous Malformation.

Project description:BACKGROUND Isolated congenital asplenia is a poorly understood and rare form of primary immunodeficiency, often associated with life-threatening infections. CASE REPORT We encountered a unique case of a 22-year-old asplenic male who presented with severe iron-deficiency anemia secondary to occult gastrointestinal bleeding since age 15. Our extensive work-up confirmed jejunal arteriovenous malformations as the source of the bleed. Six months after the treatment, the patient has reported no further episodes of gastrointestinal bleeding and his hemoglobin has remained stable. CONCLUSIONS A comprehensive literature review confirmed that this is the first reported case of adult congenital asplenia associated with arteriovenous malformation in the United States. The relationship of isolated congenital asplenia and arteriovenous malformation-associated bleeding remains unknown at this time; we postulate that this may be a congenital syndrome on its own. Obscure bleeding in the presence of rare anomalies such as asplenia should be investigated as one of the important causes of unexplained intestinal arteriovenous malformations.

Correlation between arteriovenous malformation nidus size and intraparenchymal hematoma volume in the event of rupture.

Project description:•Our study did not support the hypothesis that small AVMs lead to larger hematoma volumes in the event of a rupture.•AVM size did not correlate with the clinical severity of the bleeding as measured with HH and WFNS scores.•Larger supratentorial hematomas were associated with a more severe clinical manifestation and a poorer outcome.•In the event of a rupture, the AVM size did not correlate with the 2-4-month GOS.•AVICH score showed a good correlation with the 2-4-month GOS score.

Neurogenic Dysphagia in Subdural Hematoma.

Project description:IntroductionDysphagia is a common and severe symptom of traumatic brain injury (TBI) affecting up to 78% of patients. It is associated with pneumonia, increased morbidity, and mortality. Although subdural hematoma (SDH) accounts for over 50% of TBI, the occurrence of dysphagia in this subtype has not been investigated yet.MethodsAll patients with SDH admitted to the author's institution between the years 2007 and 2020 were included in the study. Patients with SDH and clinical suspicion for dysphagia received a clinical swallowing assessment by a speech and language pathologist (SLP). Furthermore, the severity of dysphagia was rated according to swallowing disorder scale. Functional outcome was evaluated by the Glasgow outcome scale (GOS).ResultsOut of 545 patients with SDH, 71 patients had dysphagia (13%). The prevalence of dysphagia was significantly lower in the surgical arm compared to the conservative arm (11.8 vs. 21.8%; OR 0.23; p = 0.02). Independent predictors for dysphagia were GCS <13 at admission (OR 4.17; p < 0.001), cardiovascular disease (OR 2.29; p = 0.002), and pneumonia (OR 2.88; p = 0.002), whereas the operation was a protective factor (OR 0.2; p < 0.001). In a subgroup analysis, right-sided SDH was an additional predictor for dysphagia (OR 2.7; p < 0.001). Overall, patients with dysphagia improved significantly under the SLP treatment from the initial diagnosis to hospital discharge (p < 0.01). However, a subgroup of patients with the most severe grade of dysphagia showed no significant improvement. Patients with dysphagia had significantly worse outcomes (GOS 1-3) compared to those without dysphagia (48.8 vs. 26.4%; p < 0.001).ConclusionDysphagia is a frequent symptom in SDH, and the early identification of dysphagia is crucial regarding the initiation of treatment and functional outcome. Surgery is effective in preventing dysphagia and should be considered in high-risked patients.

Haemorrhage rates of ruptured and unruptured brain arteriovenous malformation after radiosurgery: a nationwide population-based cohort study.

Project description:ObjectivesThe present nationwide population-based cohort study aims to assess the effectiveness of gamma knife radiosurgery (GKS) on ruptured and unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) by evaluating the haemorrhage rates.DesignA nationwide, retrospective cohort study.SettingTaiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD).ParticipantsAn observational study of 1515 patients who were diagnosed with brain AVMs between 1997 and 2013 from the Taiwan NHIRD.Primary outcome and secondary outcome measuresWe performed a survival analysis using the Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to explore the relationship between treatment modalities (GKS vs non-GKS) and haemorrhage, adjusted for age and sex.ResultsThe GKS and non-GKS groups included 317 and 1198 patients, respectively. Patients in the GKS group (mean±SD, 33.08±15.48 years of age) tended to be younger than those in the non-GKS group (37.40±17.62) (p<0.001). The 15-year follow-up revealed that the rate of bleeding risk was lower in the GKS group than in the non-GKRS group (adjusted HR (aHR) 0.61; 95% CI 0.40 to 0.92). The bleeding risk of ruptured AVMs was significantly lower in GKS group than in the non-GKS group (aHR 0.34; 95% CI 0.19 to 0.62). On the other hand, the bleeding risk of unruptured AVMs was higher in the GKS group than in the non-GKS group (aHR 1.95; 95% CI 1.04 to 3.65). In the unruptured AVM group, the incidence of bleeding was significantly higher among patients in the GKS group that were of >40 years of age (aHR 3.21; 95% CI 1.12 to 9.14).ConclusionsGKS is safe and it reduces the risk of haemorrhage in patients with ruptured AVMs. The administration of GKS to patients with unruptured AVMs who are above the age of 40 years old male might increase the risk of haemorrhage.

Nontraumatic bilateral subdural hematoma: Case report.

Project description:A subdural hematoma (SDH) is a type of bleeding in which a collection of blood gathers between the inner layer of the dura mater and the arachnoid mater of the meninges surrounding the brain. Although most cases reported of subdural hematoma are due to traumatic brain injury, to the best of our knowledge this is a rare case of nontraumatic subdural hematoma. A 31 year-old-Male presented to the emergency department with a severe headache for 3 weeks, with the presence of oculomotor disorders. There is no history of major trauma, minor trauma or fights. Also, no history of hypertension, or Haematological diseases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed bilateral subdural hematoma. The right-sided hematoma was treated conservatively and the Left-sided was treated by surgery. Follow-up for three months revealed no recurrence. Nontraumatic subdural hematoma is one of the challenging cases that neurosurgeons face. We presented a patient with idiopathic spontaneous subdural hematoma. Computed tomography (CT) is the first step for diagnosis and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered an excellent imaging investigation to evaluate such patients. Symptomatic subdural hematomas require an emergent treatment by identifying and controlling sites of bleeding conservatively or by surgery. Subdural hematoma with no history of trauma should be treated emergently and evaluated strictly. Follow-up is essential in patients with neural symptoms. Massive symptomatic subdural hematoma (SDH) should be treated with surgery to control the bleeding.
