Popis: | Acute haematomyelia, an unrecognized sequela of sudden intracranial hypertension is described in 3 patients with massive intracerebral and intraventricular haemorrhage. The presence of a persistent central canal of the spinal cord in communication with the 4th ventricle and acute functional obstruction of the latter allows CSF and blood to pass down into the spinal cord with subsequent rupture into the cord parenchyma. |
