  • Title: Atypical traumatic craniocervical junction focal spinal subdural hematoma.
    Author: Aydin MV, Sen O, Tufan K, Caner H.
    Journal: Pediatr Neurosurg; 2006; 42(3):197-9. PubMed ID: 16636626.
    Abstract:
    Spinal subdural hematoma (SSDH) is a rare entity and post-traumatic cervical SSDH is very rare. Review of the literature revealed 8 reported cases of traumatic SSDH and only 2 were cervical. The exact mechanism and pathogenesis of SSDHs are unclear. There are still controversies about the source of bleeding and mechanisms of formation of a hematoma. Here we report a case of a unique traumatic craniocervical junction focal subdural hematoma in an 8-year-old boy and discuss the possible mechanisms of SSDHs in trauma cases.
