Retroclival epidural hematoma secondary to decompressive craniectomy in cerebellar infarction: MR demonstration

WOS: 000076761500009PubMed ID: 9825607Epidural hematomas of the clivus are very uncommon. We, hereby, present a case of retroclival epidural hematoma as a complication of posterior fossa decompressive surgery for the management of acute cerebellar infarction. Serial MRI examinations of the patient was documented and demonstrated. In addition, the etiology of retrocrival epidural:hematomas were also discussed

Portal venous system aneurysms: Report of five cases

WOS: 000080432800005PubMed ID: 10361847Until recently aneurysms in the portal venous system were considered to be very rare lesions. This opinion has largely been changed by the increasing number of cases reported in recent years. Ln this paper we report the cases of five patients with portal venous system aneurysms, including one with splenic vein aneurysm. One patient had associated portal hypertension. The reexamination of two patients 2 years later showed no change in the aneurysms. The sonographic features and related literature are reviewed. In the light of this series and the information in the literature, we recommend that portal venous system aneurysms should no longer be considered exceptionally rare entities
