[Spinal epidural and subdural hematomas during anticoagulant therapy (author's transl)]. 1979

V Petrov, and J Collignon, and A Stevenaert

The authors report two cases of spinal hematoma during anticoagulant therapy: one epidural and one subarachnoid with spinal infarction. They stress the importance of the large extension of these hemorrhages and their indication for immediate surgical intervention.

D006407	Hematoma, Epidural, Cranial	Accumulation of blood in the EPIDURAL SPACE between the SKULL and the DURA MATER, often as a result of bleeding from the MENINGEAL ARTERIES associated with a temporal or parietal bone fracture. Epidural hematoma tends to expand rapidly, compressing the dura and underlying brain. Clinical features may include HEADACHE; VOMITING; HEMIPARESIS; and impaired mental function.

D006408	Hematoma, Subdural	Accumulation of blood in the SUBDURAL SPACE between the DURA MATER and the arachnoidal layer of the MENINGES. This condition primarily occurs over the surface of a CEREBRAL HEMISPHERE, but may develop in the spinal canal (HEMATOMA, SUBDURAL, SPINAL). Subdural hematoma can be classified as the acute or the chronic form, with immediate or delayed symptom onset, respectively. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, severe HEADACHE, and deteriorating mental status.
