✓ Two patients with spontaneous spinal subarachnoid hemorrhage are presented to emphasize the clinical and radiological features of this uncommon illness. Both had severe back pain at the onset. One patient had a subdural hematoma that compressed the conus medullaris and cauda equina, and was drained percutaneously; the other had clots in the subarachnoid space. The cerebrospinal fluid showed a polymorphonuclear pleocytosis that simulated septic meningitis. Complete spinal angiography failed to reveal a cause for the hemorrhages.

Spinal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Abstract The authors report a case of spinal subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by neurofibromas of the cauda equina. An examination of the literature revealing 13 similar cases and an analysis of this case showing three neurofibromas of the cauda equina prompted an hypothesis emphasizing the origin of bleeding and the difficulties associated with a correct diagnosis.

✓ Neoplasms of the conus medullaris and cauda equina have been shown to cause subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In such instances, the hemorrhage has been the presenting symptom. A patient with a neurofibroma at T12—L1 experienced spinal SAH during myelography for suspected lumbar disc disease. The roentgenograms showing the lesion itself first and the subarachnoid clot subsequently may be unique. The cause of hemorrhage in this patient may have been the shearing of bridging capsular veins because of diminished cerebrospinal fluid pressure below the almost obstructing lesion.

Secondary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis

We are writing to present an interesting and novel case from our practice of a patient who presented with altered mental status and a rapidly progressive paraplegia as well as high fevers and pancytopenia. A bone marrow biopsy was diagnostic of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and MRI showed hemorrhagic encephalitis and spinal subarachnoid hemorrhage. This case demonstrates the diverse neurological symptoms with which HLH presents, including spinal cord pathology. The astute neurologist should consider this diagnosis in the appropriate clinical context and diagnosis may require imaging to the complete neuraxis.

Spinal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Paraplegia is a common complication encountered during surgical and endovascular repair of aortic diseases. At times, it is also a presenting feature of aortic dissection. Involvement of more than one spinal blood supply system is the most common cause of spinal cord ischemia. Proper planning is needed to prevent and treat spinal cord ischemia. We report this rare case of acute type B aortic dissection that presented with paraplegia due to a spinal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
