We report the successful removal of an ossified crust-like chronic subdural hematoma (SDH) covering the hemisphere in a 16-year-old boy. In this article, the importance of the surgical approach is stressed, and the rarity of this condition in the neurosurgical literature is also outlined....
These are enlarged veins in the lower part of the esophagus that can rupture, causing severe internal bleeding. Gastrointestinal ulcers: Chronic alcohol use can lead to the development of peptic ulcers in the stomach and duodenum. These ulcers can erode blood vessels and cause bleeding. Gastritis:...
Chronicsubdural hematomamay occur in patients who have had atrophy (shrinkage) of their brain tissue. These include the elderly and chronic alcoholics. The subdural space increases and the bridging veins get stretched as they cross a much wider distance. Minor or unnoticed injuries can lead to som...

The condition involves a sudden change in bowel pattern, characterized as increased fluidity, frequency, or volume, that is sustained despite empiric or supportive therapy (see also Diarrhea, Chronic).
