Subdural Bleeding

Introduction. Dural arteriovenous fistulas represent pathological acquired bonds between the meningeal blood vessels (arteries) and drainage veins associated to them. These fistulas can vary in clinical presentations, from being asymptomatic to causing serious neurological deficits, depending mostly on the localization and size. Only one fourth of dural fistulas present themselves with intracranial bleeding. This hemorrhage is most frequently localized in subarachnoid space, occasionally intracerebrally, and seldom beneath the dura mater, ie subdurally. Case report. We presented a rare case of a patient with spontaneous acute subdural hematoma. After the initial treatment and consequent imaging methods, a diagnosis of a dural arteriovenous fistula was established. After the craniotomy for hematoma evacuation, the patient underwent an uneventful endovascular treatment. Despite the rarity of non-traumatic acute subdural hematoma caused by dural arteriovenous fistula, one should not overlook the possible pathogenesis and etiology in patients with spontaneous acute subdural hematoma. Even with the absence of the symptoms and signs of subdural bleeding, dural arteriovenous fistula, as a cause of it, should not be immediately ruled out. Conclusion. Despite the rarity of non-traumatic acute subdural hematoma being caused by dural arteriovenous fistulas, one should not immediately overlook the possible pathogenesis and etiology. Cautious approach is needed when treating such diseases even in the absence of typical symptoms.

The Impact

Abstract Background Skateboarding has been reported to cause diverse kinds of injuries, including head trauma. However, the risk of brain injury without direct blow to the head seems to be underestimated. In particular, the impact of the inertial forces related to the vigorous character of skateboarding tricks is not sufficiently recognized. Case Description In our report, we demonstrate a case of chronic subdural hematoma developing without previous blow to the head in a 17-year-old skater bearing small frontal convexity arachnoid cyst. Conclusion Based on the described case, the possibility of acceleration and angular forces related to skate park leisure activities resulting in subdural hematoma needs to be discussed. This risk should be critically appraised in patients carrying arachnoid cyst as a malformation predisposing to develop subdural bleeding.

Pulmonary Changes

Electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis (EDXA) are found to be very useful tools for identification of etiologic agents in pneumoconiosis or interstitial pulmonary disorders. Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and granulomatosis are frequently associated with occupational and environmental pollution. Numerous reports of pneumoconiosis in various occupations such as coal and gold miners are presented in the literature. However, there is no known documented case of pulmonary changes in workers in the sandpaper industry. This study reports a rare case of pulmonary granulomatosis containing deposits from abrasives of sandpaper diagnosed by using EDXA.
