Subdural and Intracerebral Hemorrhage Caused by Spontaneous Bleeding in the Middle Meningeal Artery after Coil Embolization of a Cerebral Aneurysm
Nontraumatic acute subdural hemorrhage (SDH) with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is rare and is usually caused by severe bleeding from aneurysms or arteriovenous fistulas. We encountered a very rare case of spontaneous bleeding from the middle meningeal artery (MMA), which caused hemorrhage in the temporal lobe and subdural space 2 weeks after coil embolization of an ipsilateral, unruptured internal cerebral artery aneurysm in the cavernous portion. At onset, the distribution of hematoma on a computed tomography scan led us to believe that the treated intracavernous aneurysm could bleed into the intradural space. Emergenc...

Increased Resting Energy Expenditure after Endovascular Coiling for Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Appropriate nutritional care from the acute stage is essential for improved functional outcomes and reduced mortality in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Although endovascular coiling is increasingly being used as an alternative to neurosurgical clipping and craniotomy for ruptured aneurysms, the resting energy expenditure (REE) of patients treated with this new technique has not been systemically evaluated.

Lobar Hemorrhage Induced by Acquired Factor XIII Deficiency in a Patient with Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
A 68-year-old man presented with intracranial hemorrhage in the right frontal lobe, which rapidly increased the day after admission. We performed hematoma removal with a biopsy of the cortex around the hematoma. The day after the operation, a subcutaneous hematoma over the craniotomy appeared, and the computed tomography showed a recurrent hemorrhage with an acute subdural hematoma. We were aware of a bleeding tendency, and a detailed hematologic examination by hematologists revealed autoimmune acquired factor XIII deficiency due to an antifactor XIII antibody.

Multiple Cerebral Hemorrhagic Lesions Depicted by Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging in a Patient with Down Syndrome: Case Report
Our objective is to study a 53-year-old woman with Down syndrome presented with massive lobar hematoma in the left fronto-parietal lobe, and who underwent craniotomy and hematoma evacuation. Histopathological diagnosis of surgical specimen was amyloid angiopathy. Postoperative magnetic resonance studies were performed. The lesion this time showed mixed intensity on susceptibility-weighted imaging. In addition, multiple hypointense lesions were evident. An old previously unidentified hemorrhage in the right temporo-parietal lobe was accompanied by superficial cortical siderosis.
