[Intracranial granuloma as a late complication of subdural hematoma].

Complications during subdural hematoma treatment are rare and usually occur soon after its evacuation. We present the clinicopathological and radiological findings of a granuloma that happened as late effect of the drainage of a subdural hematoma (1 year after). The presence of bone wax around the tumor and the finding of empty spaces intracytoplasmatic and extracellular surrounded by inflammatory cells suggest that the bone wax was the cause of the granulomatous process.

[Intake patterns of analgesics in patients with headache who came to the neurologist].

We have analysed the pattern of analgesic use in a group of patients that came for the first time to the neurologist. We have examined the first intention analgesic use in patients with headache, before the therapeutic intervention of the neurologist. During a month, we have followed a group of 40 patients. 20 of them were admitted as ambulatory patients at a Headache Unit at a Hospital and the other 20 were attended as outpatients by a general neurologist. 'Over-the-counter' analgesics were the most commonly used (paracetamol, acetylsalicylic acid and combinations of them with other products such as caffeine). More than a half of the patients had consumed a combination of analgesics. At the time of the investigation, the mean of analgesic use were greater in the group attended at the Headache Unit than in the one attended by the general neurologist. This could depend on the fact that chronic daily headache was more frequent in the first group and that they were older than the other group. These findings could be in relation with a larger evolution of their headache.
