Intra-axial hematoma: Encyclopedia II - Intra-axial hematoma - Intraparenchymal hemorrhage

Intraparenchymal hemorrhage, or intracerebral hemorrhage, another type of intra-axial bleeding, can be caused by brain trauma, or it can occur spontaneously in hemorrhagic stroke. As with other types of hemorrhages within the skull, intraparenchymal bleeds are a serious medical emergency because they can increase intracranial pressure. The mortality rate for intraparenchymal bleeds is over 40% (Sanders and McKenna, 2001). More common in adults than in children, intraparenchymal bleeds are usually due to penetrating trauma, but can als ...

Intra-axial hematoma: Encyclopedia II - Epidural hematoma - Features

Epidural bleeds, like subdural and subarachnoid hemorrhages, are extra-axial bleeds, occurring outside of the brain tissue, while intra-axial hemorrhages, including intraparenchymal and intraventricular hemorrhages, occur within it (Wagner, 2004). Epidural bleeding is rapid because it is usually from arteries, which are high pressure. Epidural bleeds from arteries can grow until they reach their peak size at six to eight hours post injury, spilling from 25 to 75 cubic centimeters of blood into the intracranial space (University of Vermont; Stock and Singer, 2004). As the hematoma expands, it strips the dura from the ins ...

Intra-axial hematoma: Encyclopedia II - Epidural hematoma - Treatment

As with other types of intracranial hematomas, the blood may be aspirated surgically to remove the mass and reduce the pressure it puts on the brain (McCaffrey, 2001). The hematoma is neurosurgically evacuated through a burr hole or craniotomy. The diagnosis of epidural hematoma requires a patient to be cared for in a facility with a neurosurgeon on call to decompress the hematoma if necessary and stop the bleed by liga ...

Intra-axial hematoma: Encyclopedia II - Epidural hematoma - Causes

The cause of epidural hematoma is usaully traumatic, although spontaneous hemorrhage is known to occur. Hemorrhages commonly result from acceleration-deceleration trauma and transverse forces (McCaffrey, 2001; University of Vermont). Venous epidural bleeds are usually due to shearing injury from rotational or linear forces, caused when tissues of different densities slide over one another. Epidural hematoma commonly results from a blow to the side of the head and is frequently caused by a fracture that passes through an arterial chann ...

Intra-axial hematoma: Encyclopedia II - Intra-axial hematoma - Intraventricular hemorrhage

Intraventricular hemorrhage (or "IVH") is a bleeding of the ventricles, where the cerebrospinal fluid is normally located. It is particularly common in infants, especially premature infants or those of very low birth weight (Annibale and Hill, 2003). Most intraventricular hemorrhages occur in the first 72 hours after birth (Annibale and Hill, 2003). Intraventricular hemorrhage is rare in adults (Mayfrank et al., 1997) and requires a great deal of force to cause. Thus the hemorrhage usually does not occur without an extensive as ...
