RÉSUMÉ
Leptomeningeal cyst (LMC) is a known complication of pediatric head injury but has not been described following a craniotomy other than for craniosynostosis. We present the case of a 20-month-old boy who underwent craniotomy for a traumatic epidural hematoma. There was an inadvertent tear of the dura which was repaired with a pericranial patch and dural sealant. The patient presented with a progressive surgical site swelling 5 months post-surgery and a CT scan revealed an LMC with elevation of the bone flap. He underwent re-exploration with watertight repair of the dural defect and rigid fixation of the bone flap. This iatrogenic LMC provides an opportunity to compare and confirm the pathogenesis vis a vis the more common spontaneous post-traumatic LMC. Our report highlights the importance of proper dural closure and bone fixation after craniotomy in children whose skulls are still growing.

Scurvy is a rare nutritional disorder caused by deficiency of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). It is often under-diagnosed in clinical settings, especially in North America where population statistics are unavailable. However, scurvy is more common than previously thought and appears to be re-emerging in children with developmental delays. Here, we review the pertinent literature and present a case of a previously healthy, 5-year-old, non-verbal boy who presented with multiple, acute, and subacute spontaneous epidural hemorrhages managed by neurosurgical intervention. He remained in hospital for 17 days and was seen in follow-up 3 weeks post-operatively having returned to his neurological baseline. Our case suggests the importance of considering scurvy in patients who have developmental delays and poor nutritional status.

A young miniature poodle was presented following blunt force trauma to the head. The dog initially responded well to medical management before developing clinical signs associated with increased intracranial pressure 48 h post-injury that became refractory to hyperosmolar therapy. A computed tomography scan obtained 76 h post-injury showed a short, oblique, non-displaced, complete fissure in the right temporal bone and a second short, oblique, non-displaced, complete fissure in the ventral aspect of the temporal bone. A biconvex, moderately hyperattenuating, space-occupying temporoparietal lesion was visualized immediately adjacent to the area of the temporal fractures. These findings were consistent with a diagnosis of intracranial extradural hematoma. Decompressive craniectomy successfully evacuated the extradural hematoma to alleviate increased intracranial pressure. The dog's neurologic function recovered quickly postoperatively. At follow-up physical examinations at 14 and 437 d, excellent return to function was noted. Key clinical message: This report describes the diagnosis and surgical management of an intracranial extradural hematoma in a dog with increased intracranial pressure refractory to medical management. Furthermore, this report describes the diagnostic imaging findings used to diagnose this particular form of primary brain injury.
Chirurgie de craniectomie décompressive chez un chien présentant un hématome extradural intracrânien à la suite d'un traumatisme contondant. Un jeune caniche miniature a été présenté à la suite d'un traumatisme contondant à la tête. Le chien a initialement bien répondu à la prise en charge médicale avant de développer des signes cliniques associés à une augmentation de la pression intracrânienne 48 heures après la blessure, qui sont devenus réfractaires au traitement hyperosmolaire. Une tomodensitométrie obtenue 76 heures après la blessure a montré une fissure complète courte, oblique, non déplacée dans l'os temporal droit et une deuxième fissure complète courte, oblique, non déplacée dans la face ventrale de l'os temporal. Une lésion temporo-pariétale biconvexe, modérément hyperatténuée et occupant de l'espace a été visualisée immédiatement à côté de la zone des fractures temporales. Ces résultats concordaient avec un diagnostic d'hématome extradural intracrânien. La craniectomie décompressive a réussi à évacuer l'hématome extradural pour atténuer l'augmentation de la pression intracrânienne. La fonction neurologique du chien s'est rétablie rapidement après l'opération. Lors des examens physiques de suivi à 14 et 437 jours, un excellent retour au fonctionnement a été noté.Message clinique clé:Ce rapport décrit le diagnostic et la prise en charge chirurgicale d'un hématome extradural intracrânien chez un chien présentant une augmentation de la pression intracrânienne réfractaire à la prise en charge médicale. En outre, ce rapport décrit les résultats de l'imagerie diagnostique utilisée pour diagnostiquer cette forme particulière de lésion cérébrale primaire.(Traduit par Dr Serge Messier).

The treatment of acute epidural haematoma is surgery as soon as possible, elimination of the source of bleeding and evacuation of the haematoma. In case of small epidural haematoma, strict neurological and radiological follow-up is necessary. In a significant percentage of cases, open surgery must also be performed within a few days. In case of small epidural haematomas, embolization of the middle meningeal artery is considered as an alternative solution. We review the literature on middle meningeal artery embolization and present our first treatment. Our case report is the first European report about an acute epidural haematoma which was treated by embolization of middle meningeal artery. Our case study is the first report in which a patient was treated with both open surgery and endovascular treatment for acute epidural haematoma within a year.

INTRODUCTION: Traumatic intracranial aneurysms are rare, making up about 1% of all intracranial aneurysms. They can happen due to direct injury or blunt force, with the middle cerebral artery being the most frequent site. The middle meningeal artery (MMA) is the main artery that supplies the cranial dura mater, and, because of its location, is susceptible to damage after trauma. This article reported an unusual case of giant post-traumatic MMA pseudoaneurysm. CASE: A 45 year-old man was referred to our department with a history of craniectomy. He complained of non-specific headache, but neurological examination was normal. A follow-up brain CT scan identified a right temporal fossa hyperdense mass. Digital subtraction angiography diagnosed a traumatic MMA aneurysm. The patient was treated with preoperative aneurysm embolization and surgical resection. DISCUSSION: Traumatic MMA aneurysm is a rare presentation after head trauma. It can manifest as epidural hematoma, subdural hematoma or intraparenchymal hematoma, and sometimes resembles the present case, which was discovered incidentally. CONCLUSION: Pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of MMA trauma, with late presentation. It should be considered in patients with history of traumatic brain injury and temporal fossa extra-axial mass lesion with vascular characteristics.

INTRODUCCIÓ: Un cefalohematoma és una col·lecció de sang sota el periosti del crani secundària a un traumatisme del part. Afecta entre l'1% I el 2% dels nadons nascuts per un part vaginal I entre el 3% I el 4% dels nascuts mitjançant un part instrumentat. Solen ser benignes I autolimitats, I es resolen espontàniament al cap d'unes setmanes, però alguns casos poden anar acompanyats d'anèmia, hiperbilirubinèmia o fractura cranial, complicar-se amb una calcificació o, rarament, infectar-se. CAS CLINIC: Nounat a terme de 9 dies de vida amb un cefalohematoma present des del naixement que va augmentar de mida després de tenir febre I infectar-se per Escherichia coli, suposadament per l'extensió d'una bacterièmia, I que es va acompanyar d'una meningitis asèptica (pleocitosi) que es va considerar secundària a una osteomielitis per contigüitat. El pacient es va tractar amb antibiòtics I desbridament quirúrgic, I no va tenir seqüeles. COMENTARIS: Cal tenir present que els cefalohematomes, tot I que habitualment tenen un curs autolimitat I una bona evolució, són un lloc potencial d'infecció, I que cal sospitar I descartar la infecció en un pacient amb febre I l'existència prèvia d'un cefalohematoma. S'han descrit casos de meningitis associats a cefalohematoma, però, fins on sabem, només un de meningitis asèptica com el descrit I que es va considerar, a diferència del que presentem, secundària a un retard en la recollida del líquid cefaloraquidi després d'iniciada l'antibioteràpia
INTRODUCCIÓN: Un cefalohematoma es una colección de sangre debajo del periostio del cráneo secundaria a un traumatismo del parto. Afecta a entre el 1% y el 2% de los neonatos nacidos mediante un parto vaginal y a entre el 3% y el 4% de los nacidos mediante un parto instrumentado. Suelen ser benignos, autolimitados y resolverse espontáneamente en semanas, pero en algunos casos se pueden acompañar de anemia, hiperbilirrubinemia o fractura craneal, complicarse con una calcificación o, raramente, infectarse. CASO CLÍNICO: Recién nacido a término de 9 días de vida con un cefalohematoma presente desde el nacimiento que aumentó de tamaño tres haber tenido fiebre e infectarse por Escherichia coli, supuestamente por la extensión de una bacteriemia, y que se acompañó de una meningitis aséptica (pleocitosis) que se consideró secundaria a una osteomielitis por contigüidad. El paciente se trató con antibióticos y desbridamiento quirúrgico y no tuvo secuelas. COMENTARIOS: Debemos tener en cuenta que los cefalohematomas, a pesar de que habitualmente tienen un curso autolimitado y una buena evolución, son un lugar potencial de infección, y que hay que sospechar y descartar la infección en un paciente con fiebre y la existencia de un cefalohematoma previo. Se han descrito algunos casos de meningitis asociados a cefalohematoma, pero hasta donde sabemos solo uno de meningitis aséptica como el descrito y que se consideró, a diferencia del que presentamos, secundaria a un retraso en la recogida del líquido cefalorraquídeo tras el inicio de la antibioterapia
INTRODUCTION: A cephalohematoma is a collection of blood below the periosteum of the skull due to birth trauma. It affects 1-2% of spontaneous vaginal deliveries and 3-4% of instrument-assisted deliveries. It is usually a self-limiting, benign condition which resorbs within weeks. A small proportion of cases can be accompanied by anemia, hyperbilirubinemia or a skull fracture, or be complicated by calcification or rarely by infection. CASE REPORT: 9-day-old full term neonate with a cephalohematoma present at birth that enlarged after the cephalohematoma got infected by Escherichia coli during a septic episode. Aseptic meningitis (pleocytosis) was assumed to be due to contiguous osteomyelitis. The patient was successfully treated with antibiotics and surgical debridement and showed no sequelae. COMMENTS: Clinicians should be aware that even though cephalohematomas are usually a benign, self-limiting condition, they are a potential site of infection. Infection must be suspected and ruled out in a patient with fever and a pre-existing cephalohematoma. A few cases of meningitis accompanying an infected cephalohematoma have been reported, although, to our knowledge, there is only one report of an associated aseptic meningitis. In contrast to the patient we present, in the other reported case lumbar puncture was performed 24 hours after onset of antibiotic treatment, which was suggested as the reason for the cerebrospinal fluid to be sterile

OBJETIVO: Analisar aspectos da epidemiologia, apresentação clínica e radiológica de pacientes com hematoma extradural traumático (HED) submetidos a procedimento neurocirúrgico. MÉTODOS: Foi realizada a revisão de prontuários de 210 pacientes admitidos no Serviço de Emergência com HED diagnosticados através de tomografia computadorizada, tratados cirurgicamente no período de agosto de 1998 a janeiro de 2008. Foram analisados: idade, sexo, apresentação clínica e radiológica, mecanismo de trauma e status neurológico no momento da alta hospitalar. RESULTADOS: Em 49,2% o mecanismo de trauma foi queda; 89,2% dos pacientes eram do gênero masculino; 49,7% dos casos tinham Escala de Coma de Glasgow (ECG) entre 13-15; 61% dos pacientes tinham idade entre 20-49 anos; A localização do HED em 26,5% e 19,6% dos casos foi têmporo-parietal e temporal, respectivamente; 32,8% tinham lesões intracranianas associadas, sendo a fratura craniana evidenciada em cerca de 45% dos casos; 76,2% dos pacientes tratados cirurgicamente tiveram alta com déficit mínimo ou ausência de déficit neurológico. CONCLUSÃO: Observamos que o HED, na população de estudo, apresenta-se mais frequentemente no gênero masculino, na quarta década de vida, mais relacionado às quedas. Na admissão, observamos uma ECG entre 13 e 15, sendo pertinente mencionar o envolvimento da região têmporo-parietal na maioria dos casos. Acreditamos que o conhecimento da epidemiologia do hematoma extradural traumático pode auxiliar na elaboração de medidas de saúde pública, visando à prevenção e identificação precoce desta doença em determinada população.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the epidemiology, clinical and radiological presentation of patients with traumatic extradural hematoma (EDH) undergoing neurosurgical procedures. METHODS: We performed a chart review of 210 patients admitted to the emergency department with EDH diagnosed by CT scan and surgically treated between August 1998 and January 2008. Variables analyzed were: age, gender, clinical and radiological presentation, mechanism of injury and neurological status at discharge from hospital. RESULTS: In 49.2% trauma mechanism was fall; 89.2% of patients were male, 49.7% of cases had a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) between 13 and 15; 61% of patients had age between 20 and 49 years; the location of EDH was the temporo-parietal and temporal in 26.5% and 19.6% of the cases, respectively; 32.8% had associated intracranial lesions, with skull fractures seen in around 45% of cases; 76.2% of surgically treated patients were discharged with minimal or no neurologic deficit. CONCLUSION: We observed that, in the study population, EDH appears more often in males, in the fourth decade of life, and is more related to falls. On admission, GCS was observed between 13 and 15 and it is appropriate to mention the involvement of the temporo-parietal region in most cases. We believe that knowledge of the epidemiology of traumatic epidural hematoma can assist in developing public health measures aimed at prevention and early identification of this disease in the population.

Traumatic head injury is a common cause of mortality and acquired neurological impairment in children. However, pediatric epidural hematomas (EDHs) are not common and few series have studied the evolution of these patients. In this study, we present the results from a sample of patients with EDH with long-term follow-up. METHOD: Between January 2006 and December 2008, 49 patients with traumatic EDH were treated at our unit. Clinical course, radiological findings and outcomes were evaluated. Neurological status was assessed using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). The patients' ages ranged from one day to 16 years. The mean follow-up was six months. RESULTS: On admission, most of the patients presented mild trauma and 57 percent had a GCS of 13-15. The most common symptom was irritability. The most frequent mechanisms of injury were: falling from a height in 29 cases and motor vehicle accidents in 16 cases. Three of these patients presented GCS 3, but only one died. We found a late neurological deficit in nine patients. CONCLUSION: These lesions may occur following mild head trauma and in alert children with nonfocal neurological examinations. However, in children presenting irritability with subgaleal hematomas and a history of loss of consciousness, skull computed tomography must be performed.
Trauma craniocerebral é uma causa frequente de mortalidade e comprometimento neurológico adquirido em crianças. No entanto, hematomas epidurais (HED) são raros em pacientes pediátricos, com poucas series estudando a evolução destes pacientes. Neste estudo, os autores apresentam os resultados de uma casuística de pacientes com HED acompanhados em longo prazo. MÉTODO: Entre janeiro de 2006 e dezembro de 2008, 49 pacientes com HED foram tratados em nossa unidade. Curso clínico, achados radiológicos, e resultados foram avaliados. O estado neurológico foi avaliado com o Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). A idade variou de 1 dia a 16 anos. A média de acompanhamento foi de 6 meses. RESULTADOS: Na admissão, a maioria dos pacientes apresentava trauma leve e 57 por cento estavam com GCS de 13-15. O sintoma mais comum foi irritabilidade. Os mecanismos de trauma mais frequentes foram queda de altura em 29 casos e acidentes de trânsito em 16 casos. Três destes pacientes apresentavam GCS 3, mas somente um morreu. Verificou-se déficit neurológico tardio em nove pacientes. CONCLUSÃO: Esta lesão pode ocorrer após traumas leves e em crianças alerta com exames neurológicos não focais. No entanto, em crianças com irritabilidade com hematoma subgaleal e história de perda de consciência, tomografia do crânio deve ser realizada.

Introdução: no Brasil, observa-se um grande número de crianças e adolescentes trabalhando diariamente nas ruas, em empresas familiares, em situações de risco de acidentes e adoecimentos, entre outros, levando a uma realidade alarmante em número de morbimortalidade. A atividade laboral nessa faixa etária configura-se como um dos problemas sociais mais relevantes para estes indivíduos, porém, ainda acredita-se que exista subnotificação dos dados epidemiológicos encontrados e poucos estudos com estatísticas confiáveis sobre a dimensão desse importante problema social. Objetivo: apresentar um relato de caso de um adolescente trabalhador com carteira registrada, vítima de acidente de trajeto grave. Método; relato de caso, parte de uma pesquisa intitulada: "Perfil dos acidentes de trabalho grave atendidos nos hospitais sentinelas de Campo Grande". Apresentação do caso: adolescente de 16 anos, acidentado no trajeto da entrega de produtos da drogaria, resultando em incapacidade total permanente. Considerações finais: para que haja diminuição do número de acidentes de trabalho com adolescentes, sugerese a promoção de políticas públicas na inserção legalizada desses adolescentes no mercado de trabalho, pois a maioria encontra-se realizando trabalhos informais, que comprometem sua integridade física, moral e psicológica, pondo em risco sua capacidade laboral em longo prazo.
Introduction: in Brazil, there is a large number of children and adolescents working daily on the streets, in family businesses, in situations of risk of accidents and illnesses, among others, leading to an alarming reality in terms of morbidity and mortality. Labor activity in this age group is one of the most relevant social problems for these individuals, however, it is still believed that there is underreporting of the epidemiological data found and few studies with reliable statistics on the dimension of this important social problem. Objective: to present a case report of an adolescent worker with a registered license, victim of a serious accident. Method; case report, part of a research entitled: "Profile of serious work accidents attended at sentinel hospitals in Campo Grande". Case presentation: 16-year-old teenager injured in the delivery of drugstore products, resulting in permanent total disability. Final considerations: in order to reduce the number of accidents at work with adolescents, it is suggested the promotion of public policies in the legal insertion of these adolescents in the labor market, since most are doing informal jobs, which compromise their physical integrity, moral and psychological, putting their work capacity at risk in the long term.

We report the case of a severe head injured 43-year old male patient with a large extradural hematoma, Glasgow Coma Scale 3 and dilated fixed pupils. Patient was promptly submitted to surgical evacuation of the lesion, but remained in persistent vegetative state in the post-operative time. Head computed tomography scans performed before surgery, and at early and late post-operative periods comparatively revealed extreme bilateral cortical atrophy. Late consequences of severe head trauma drastically affect the prognosis of patients, being its prevention, and neuroprotection against secondary injury still a therapeutical challenge for neurosurgeons.
Relatamos o caso de um paciente de 43 anos, com traumatismo cranioencefálico grave, com grande hematoma extradural, Escala de Coma de Glasgow 3 e pupilas fixas e dilatadas. O paciente foi prontamente submetido à evacuação cirúrgica da lesão mas permaneceu em estado vegetativo persistente no período pós-operatório. As TC de crânio realizadas antes da cirurgia e nos períodos pós-operatórios precoce e tardio revelaram comparativamente extrema atrofia cerebral bilateral. As conseqüências tardias do traumatismo craniano grave afetam drasticamente o prognóstico dos pacientes, sendo sua prevenção, e a neuroproteção contra a injúria secundária ainda um desafio terapêutico para os neurocirurgiões.

El hematoma espinal epidural (HEE) es una complicación conocida en la cirugía espinal, pero la incidencia del HEE que da lugar a déficit neurológico es muy rara(0,1%). Los pacientes que necesitan intervenciones en varios niveles lumbares y/o que tienen una coagulopatía preoperatoria tienen un riesgo significativamente mayor de desarrollar un hematoma epidural. La introducción de dosis altas de heparina de bajo peso molecular(HBPM), (30 mgrs. dos veces al día) aumentan la incidencia de hematomas neuroaxiales. La cirugía llevada acabo dentro de las 8 horas da lugar a un recuperación buena o parcial de la función neurológica. Nuestro paciente fue tratada con dosis altas de HBPM y desarrolló un déficit neurológico debido a un HEE, después de una punción lumbar. Fue operada al cabo de seis días y se recuperó parcialmente de su déficit después de la intervención. La administración actual de dosis altas de HBPM puede dar lugar a HEE, incluso después de una punción lumbar, que se hizo en pocos intentos. Aunque la cirugía realizada en las primeras 8horas produce una recuperación buena o parcial, la laminectomía y evacuación del hematoma llevada acabo después de tres días también puede dar lugar a buenos resultado
Spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is a known complication of spinal surgery, but the incidence of post-surgical SEHs that result in neurologic deficits is extremely rare (0.1%). Patients that require multilevel lumbar procedures and/or have a preoperative coagulopathy are at a significantly higher risk of developing an epidural hematoma. The introduction of higher dose of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) twice daily 30mg regimen) increased the reported incidence of neuroaxial hematomas. Surgery performed within 8 hours makes good or partial recovery of neurologic function. Our patient was also started on higher dose of LMWH and developed neurological deficits due to a SEH following lumbar puncture. She underwent operation after six days and she had a mild recovery following the operation. Current administration of high doses of LMWH can cause SEH even after a lumbar puncture, which was performed without multiple attempts. Although surgery performed within 8 hours makes good or partial recovery of neurologic function, laminectomy and epidural hematoma evacuation performed after three days can also have successful results

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Apresentar um caso de paciente com hematoma peridural, na vigência do uso de cateter peridural e heparina de baixo peso molecular, seu quadro clínico e tratamento. RELATO DO CASO: Paciente do sexo feminino, 75 anos, submetida à fixação de coluna lombar por via anterior, que desenvolveu no pós-operatório quadro clínico de paralisia progressiva nos membros inferiores, com perda de sensibilidade, sem apresentar dor radicular intensa. O tratamento foi descompressão medular imediata, com drenagem e limpeza cirúrgica de hematoma peridural, que se estendia da quinta até a décima vértebra torácica. Após a drenagem do hematoma a paciente recuperou gradualmente a força nos membros inferiores, recebeu alta em 10 dias com quadro de disfunção esfincteriana. Após três meses o quadro regrediu e não houve seqüela neurológica definitiva. CONCLUSÕES: O rápido diagnóstico com intervenção cirúrgica precoce é o tratamento mais eficaz para redução de lesão neurológica, em pacientes que desenvolvem hematoma peridural no pós-operatório. A utilização de heparina de baixo peso molecular, na vigência do uso de cateter peridural, exige a adesão estrita a protocolos estabelecidos, para que se reduzam os riscos do desenvolvimento de hematoma peridural.
