  #12

A) SuBDural Hematoma

-1) Rupture of BriDging viens (the letters BD give the clue)

or another one is (i know its retarded but sometimes you remember the most retarded things on the exam)

2) "go under the CAVE & over the DURable BRIDGE to get to the SUBmarine" = SUBDURAL = BRIDGing viens = ConCAVE on CT

also to remmember that subdural hematoma occurs in elderly, alcoholics & shaken baby syndrome , remmeber "old ppl, alcoholics & babies can't cross Bridge's without help)


B) SuBArachnoid hemorrhage= Rupture of Berry Aneurysm (letters BA are clues)


C) the only one left is Epidural hematoma so it will only be middle meningeal artery, lucid interval seen (remember EPIsodes of Lucid interval= EPIdural), & is convex on CT

D/D betwn Pericardial diseases or diseases of the heart pericardium is divided into: Perdicarditis and Perdicardial effusions.

Pericarditis is divided into primary and secondary:

1. primary is mainly caused by virus although other organisms can cause (Primary rare)

2. secondary is more often caused by Acute MI, cardiac surgery, radiation to the mediastinum and Uremia which is the most common systemic disorder associated. Less common cause include: SLE, rheumatic fever, and metastic malignancies

Note: all these are inflammatory causes that can result fluid to accumulate in the pericardium.

Pericardial Effusions which are not inflamatory in origin are divided into:

1. Serous: caused by CHF, hypoalbuminemia of any type
2. Serosanguineous: caused by blunt chest trauma such as stab wound and malignancy
3. Chylous: caused by mediastinal lymphatic obstruction

These effusions can also result fluid accumulation in the pericardium.

so what is Cardiac tampobade then? well this is a term used to describe when the heart can't expand anymore due to fluid accumulation in its pericardium, the fluid accumulating around the heart that's in the pericarium will restrict the heart from expanding and functioning correctly. It's like placing the heart in a small jar, smaller than its size then expect to beat, would that we possible, the answer is no? then you can say the heart has experienced "Cardiac tamponade"
