“…Interestingly, epidural haematoma in association with arachnoid cyst also has been described. 19 CONCLUSION Neurosurgeons are acquainted with ADPKD due to the increased incidence of cerebral aneurysms but the association between ADPKD, arachnoid cysts and CSDH has not been previously reported. Patients with ADPKD have an increased incidence of intracranial arachnoid cysts, which may predispose to the development of CSDH.…”

We present the unusual association between chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH), intracranial arachnoid cyst and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in a 27-year-old man. CSDH is a documented complication of intracranial arachnoid cyst, the incidence of which is increased in patients with ADPKD. Awareness of this association may lead to earlier diagnosis of ADPKD and treatment of its systemic complications, including renal insufficiency, systemic hypertension and previously unsuspected intracranial saccular aneurysm. Surgery for CSDH associated with intracranial arachnoid cyst may be complicated by over-drainage of cerebrospinal fluid due to communication between the cyst and the cisternal subarachnoid space, as illustrated in the present case, and the development of epidural haemorrhage.

“…This presentation poses a surgical challenge, particularly if the space-occupying lesions are on the same side of the brain. A literature review on the subject revealed only seven reported cases of EDHs associated with the presence of AC 1 3–7. The management options are varied and depend on the unique patient presentation.…”

A man, a teenage victim of an assault to the head, presented to the emergency department, in Baghdad, with a Glasgow Coma Score of 4/15 (E1 M2 V1) and total right-sided paralysis. CT of the brain revealed a large-left sided frontotemporoparietal extradural haematoma with the presence of an ipsilateral sylvian arachnoid cyst deep to the haematoma. Urgent surgical evacuation of the haematoma was performed, leaving the arachnoid cyst intact. The patient improved and gained full consciousness within 4 days.Three years after the initial trauma, the patient has remained well. This case required a thorough discussion of the surgical options, in particular whether to intervene with the associated cyst, and whether any intervention with the cyst should be performed in the same or future operations. This dilemma forms the basis of the discussion in the following report.

Spinal cord compression immediately following, but unrelated to, epidural analgesia

SummaryA patient developed spinal cord compression following epidural analgesia. The diagnosis was made dificult by the presence of epidural analgesia, although the compression was not in fact related to the analgesic technique employed. This case highlights the need for close observation of patients in whom epidural analgesia is, or has recently been, employed and the need to consider alternative reasons for neurological dejcit.
