Abstract

Acute or subacute subdural haematomas of the posterior fossa in adults without a history of trauma are very rare and constitute about 0.6 to 1% of all such intracranial hematomas. The most associated factor is coagulation abnormality. Computed tomography seems the best imaging choice to outline the details of subdural hematoma. This study aims to raise awareness for emergency physicians for the subdural hematoma in the posterior fossa and to avoid misdiagnosis.

Posterior Fossanın Spontan Subdural Hematomu

Abstract

Travma öyküsü olmayan erişkinlerde posterior fossanın akut veya subakut subdural hematomları çok nadirdir ve tüm intrakranial hematomların yaklaşık % 0.6-1'ini oluşturur. En sık ilişkili faktör koagülasyon anormalliğidir. Bilgisayarlı tomografi subdural hematomun detaylarını gösteren en iyi görüntüleme seçeneğidir. Bu çalışma, posterior fossada subdural hematom için acil hekimlerini bilinçlendirmeyi ve yanlış tanıyı önlemeyi amaçlamaktadır.
