A subdural hygroma is an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the subdural space that may occur secondary to trauma and surgery, or for iatrogenic reasons, such as a lumbar puncture. Lumbar puncture is a procedure used commonly for intrathecal chemotherapy for patients with B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (B-ALL) though subdural hygroma is a very rare complication. We present a case of a fatal, refractory subdural hygroma in a patient with B-ALL.
硬膜下积液是指脑脊液在硬膜下间隙积聚,其可能继发于创伤、手术或医源性因素,如腰椎穿刺。腰椎穿刺是常用于B细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病(B-ALL)患者鞘内化疗的一种操作,尽管硬膜下积液是一种非常罕见的并发症。我们报告一例B-ALL患者发生致命性、难治性硬膜下积液的病例。
