Abstract

Background: Intracranial subdural hematomas (SDH) are quite rare complications of spinal anesthesia and epidural analgesia (SA/EA). Characteristics of the incident in obstetric patients were investigated. Methods: The PUBMED database was searched for three sets of key words: "subdural hematoma and spinal anesthesia", "subdural hematoma and epidural analgesia", "pregnancy and subdural hematoma and epidural anesthesia". The literature findings and our clinic series was reported. Results: The study reached at 26 obstetric cases between the age of 17 and 46 years (mean: 30.7 years). The majority of the patients (65.3%) were giving their first children. There were (34.7%) acute, (23%) sub-acute and (42.3%) chronic cases. Bilateral SDH was seen in 50% of epidural, 30.7% of the total cases. Patients, giving vaginal delivery, were more prone to have acute and sub-acute hematomas (61.5%), compared to Cesarean Section (CS) (53.8%). The mean duration of diagnosis was 379 hours. Patients managed conservatively in 42.3% of the cases. 3/9 of acute cases could be treated conservatively. Patients had favorable outcomes in 88.4%. Conclusions: Delayed diagnosis incurring patients at risk and high level of suspicion and vigilance were needed particularly in patients with headache lasting more than 5 days or nonpostural in character, associated with neurological findings.

Özet

Amaç: Kafaiçi subdural hematomlar (SH) spinal anestezi ve epidural analjezinin nadir görülen komplikasyonlarındandır. Bu çalışmada doğum ile ilişkili olguların genel özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Literatür taraması ile bildirilen doğum ile ilişkili subdural hematomları tespit edilmiştir. Bu amaçla 3 anahtar kelime grubu kullanılmıştır: "subdural hematoma and spinal anesthesia", "subdural hematoma and epidural analgesia", "pregnancy and subdural hematoma and epidural anesthesia". Literatür taramasından elde edilen olgular ile kliniğimizde tespit edilen olgular değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Bu çalışma ile 26 hastaya ait veriler derlenmiştir. Hastaların yaşları 17-46 yıl arasındadır (ortalama 30.7 yıl). Hastaların çoğunluğunun ilk doğumlarıdır (65.3%). Subdural hematomlar akut (%34.7), subakut (%23) ve kronik (%42.3) olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Lateralizasyon yanında bilateral SH da görülmektedir; bunların %50'si epidural analjezi yapılanlarda görülmekte, tüm grup içerisinde ise %30.7'u oluşturmaktadır. Normal doğum yapan hastalar daha çok akut ve subakut SH (61.5%) gelişimine yatkındır. Bu oran sezeryan ameliyatlarında (CS) %53.8 dir. Olguların %42.3' ü tutucu yollar ile tedavi edilmiştir. Hastaların %88.4'ünde prognoz olumlu seyretmiştir. Sonuç: SH'ların geç teşhis edilmesi hastaları riske atmaktaır. Bu nedenle doğum sonrası başağrısı olan, özellikle 5 günden uzun süren ve/veya postural özellik göstermeyen ve nörolojik bulgular ile başvuran hastalarda SH akla getirilmeli ve buna yönelik teşhis yöntemlerine başvurulmalıdır.
