Case ReportsSpontaneous spinal epidural haematoma arising from ruptured vascular malformation. Case report.
Spontaneous spinal epidural haematomas are rare and in only about 10% of the reported cases has the vascular sources of the bleeding been detected. A case of acute cerivcal epidural haematoma, arising fro a ruptured vascular malformation, successfully operated on, is presented. Clinical, neuroradiological, and pathological findings are described in detail. Significance of postoperative selective spinal angiography is discussed.

Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical TrialPrevention of recurrence of spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage by tranexamic acid.
Tranexamic acid as an antifibrinolytic agent has been investigated in a controlled study in patients with recent subarachnoid haemorrhage. It is concluded that tranexamic acid improves neither rebleeding rates, nor mortality. Predominantly thrombotic complications have been noted as a more serious side effect of tranexamic acid.

Case ReportsAccidental stab wound of the cervical spinal cord from in front.
An unusual case of damage to the cervical spinal cord due to a non-missile penetrating injury through an anterior route in a nine-year-old boy who fell from a bicycle is reported. There was a cerebrospinal fluid leak that lasted for two days. ⋯ Treatment was conservative, with a very good functional recovery. To our best knowledge there is no myelographically documented case report of such a lesion in the literature.
