[Spontaneous epidural hematoma in a patient undergoing hemodialysis: a case report].
2003
: A 54-year-old male with chronic renal failure due to diabetic nephropathy suffered dysphagia and left facial spasm without head trauma during a hemodialysis session. CT scan revealed a right acute epidural hematoma. MRI and cerebral angiography did not reveal any abnormalities in the intracranial vasculature. The occurrence of intracranial spontaneous epidural hematoma in a haemodialysis patient has not been reported. During hemodialysis, the intracranial pressure transiently increases and rapidly recovers. It is assumed that the decreasing intracranial pressure caused epidural hematoma.
