Abstract

Objective:

The etiology of spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage is analyzed and the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects are discussed.

Methods/Results:

Two cases of spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage from a ruptured adenocarcinoma of the kidney are reported. Both patients presented the characteristic Lenk's triad. Definitive diagnosis was made on the CT findings and treatment was by nephrectomy.

Conclusions:

The most common cause of retroperitoneal hemorrhage arising from the kidney is a tumor. Treatment is based on the underlying cause of the underlying cause of the hemorrhage and the patient's hemodynamic status.

Hemorrhagic Stroke l: Introduction

Hemorrhagic Stroke l: Introduction

A hemorrhagic stroke is an acute neurological event that occurs when a weakened cerebral blood vessel ruptures, allowing blood to accumulate within or around the brain. The sudden release of blood forms a focal hematoma that increases intracranial pressure, displaces neural tissue, and can obstruct cerebrospinal fluid pathways. These effects may be compounded by intraventricular extension of the hemorrhage, cerebral edema, or compression of adjacent structures, all of which contribute to...

Hemorrhagic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology

Hemorrhagic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology

A hemorrhagic stroke develops when a cerebral blood vessel ruptures, allowing blood to escape into the surrounding brain tissue, as in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), or into the subarachnoid space, as in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Because the skull is a rigid compartment, the sudden presence of extravascular blood rapidly increases intracranial pressure and compresses adjacent neural structures, leading to immediate tissue injury and impaired cerebral perfusion.Mass Effect and Primary...
