Abstract A case is presented in which a patient sustained a closed head injury with subsequent acute subdural hematoma and delayed posterior dislocation of the atlas without fracture of the odontoid process and with an intact C-1 arch. The subdural hematoma was treated operatively. The atlas dislocation was managed with closed reduction without manipulation and subsequent posterior fusion of C-1, C-2, and C-3. The patient was intact neurologically on admission and remained so throughout his hospitalization.

We report the case of a 69-year-old man admitted to the emergency department of a UK district general hospital with an extradural haematoma following closed head injury. He deteriorated rapidly before transfer to the regional neurosurgical centre and was treated with decompression of the extradural haematoma through an EZ-IO™ intraosseous needle in our department, with telephone guidance from the neurosurgeon. We believe this to be the first reported use of this technique in a district general hospital.

Abstract Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a rare but often fatal hypersensitivity reaction to numerous agents, including most anticonvulsants. The authors present a case of fatal phenytoin-related toxic epidermal necrolysis in a patient who was given prophylactic anticonvulsant therapy after he sustained a moderately severe closed head injury. The typical course and current management of toxic epidermal necrolysis are reviewed, as are the indications for the prophylaxis of posttraumatic epilepsy.

AbstractTraumatic aneurysm rupture following a closed head injury is rare. The rupture of a cavernous internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm following a head injury presenting as a tentorial subdural hematoma has not been reported in the literature. We discuss a 50-year-old woman with a closed head injury with her initial computed tomography scan showing a tentorial subdural hematoma. Further investigations revealed the presence of a ruptured cavernous ICA aneurysm. We also conducted a literature review of posttraumatic ICA aneurysmal rupture.

Abstract The authors report a case of subdural empyema that occurred 20 years after a severe closed head injury and was treated surgically with good results. Traumatic subdural empyema of this late onset is rare. The literature is reviewed, and the mechanism of a delayed presentation is discussed. (Neurosurgery 21:724-726, 1987)
