Abstract

Intracranial hemorrhages are important clinical events necessitating early diagnosis and treatment as they might cause significant mortality and morbidity. Knowing clinical signs is important in early diagnosis. In this study we present an 18 year old male patient who had admitted to our clinic with a history of jumping into the sea that resulted in a head trauma nearly two months ago and who developed diplopia and headache two weeks ago. Following neurological, ophthalmological and radiological evaluations; the case was diagnosed as chronic subdural hematoma accompanied by unilateral isolated abducens nerve palsy. The patient was operated and this resulted in resolution of his symptoms. This case demonstrated us that isolated 6th cranial nerve palsy might develop as an initial symptom in chronic subdural hematomas.

Özet

İntrakranial hemorajiler önemli morbidite ve mortalitelere yol açabilmeleri nedeniyle erken tanı ve tedavi gerektiren ciddi klinik hadiselerdir. Klinik bulgularının bilinmesi erken tanıda önemlidir. Bu çalışmada yaklaşık iki ay önce denize atlama esnasında kafa travması geçirme öyküsü bulunan ve son iki haftada gelişen diplopi ve başağrısı kliniği ile başvuran 18 yaşındaki erkek olgu sunulmuştur. Olguya nörolojik, oftalmolojik ve radyolojik incelemeler sonrasında kronik subdural hematoma eşlik eden tek taraflı izole abducens sinir felci tanısı konularak operasyon uygulanmış ve ameliyat sonrası semptomlarında resolüsyon görülmüştür. Bu olgu kronik subdural hematomların öncül bulgusu olarak izole 6. kraniel sinir felçlerinin de gelişebileceğini göstermiştir.
