Hematoma

	Hematoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A hematoma, or haematoma, is a collection of blood, generally the result of hemorrhage.
		Hematomas can gradually migrate, as the extravasated cells and pigment move in the connective tissue.
		Hematomas on articulations can reduce mobility of a member and present roughly the same symptoms as a fracture.

		A subdural hematoma is defined as a coagulum of blood which collects during hemorrhage below the dura mater and above the arachnoid membrane.
		The differential diagnosis of a subdural hematoma includes subarachnoid hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage, intracranial neoplasm, hydrocephalus, Dandy-Walker malformation, and miscellaneous cysts of the brain, including arachnoid cysts and an aneurysm of the vein of Galen.
		The location of the subdural hematoma just beneath the cranium, the typical deformity of the brain, the layering of hemorrhagic material, and, occasionally, the patient history are most helpful in establishing the diagnosis.

		This is rapidly achieved in isolated intracranial hematomas, resulting in characteristic marked hypointensity on long TR/TE images in the acute stage and it is also seen in isolated clots in the subarachnoid space.
		However, in acute diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage, the ambient oxygen tension of the subarachnoid CSF is too high for expected evolutionary changes to occur.
		The cardinal diagnostic sign of ruptured aneurysm is a severe headache of sudden onset, and CT scan remains the most sensitive imaging method for the detection of acute subarachnoid blood.

		It leaves this ventricle through its median and lateral apertures and enters the subarachnoid space, which is continuous around the spinal cord and brain.
		The subarachnoid space containing CSF extends into the arachnoid granulations, which in turn project upward through the dura into the superior sagittal sinus.
		Consequently, piercing the dura where the meningeal arteries enter the base of the skull or near the vertex causes pain and is a major source of headaches.

	Hyperextension and rotation of head causing internal carotid artery laceration with basilar subarachnoid hematoma
		These lacerations are believed to be caused by stretching of the vessels due to the abrupt movement of the head and rotational acceleration of the brain within the cranium, and they usually occur in the intracranial portions of the vessels, producing a subarachnoid hemorrhage.
		This is the case of a 35-year-old man who received a blow to the face that forcefully hyperextended and rotated his head to the left.
		This unusual injury may be due to a combination of blunt force applied to the head and the alteration of the vessel's structural and functional capacities secondary to atherosclerosis.
