Traumatic Subacute Subdural Hematomas : Possible Mechanisms that Cause their Development

Conservative management outcomes of traumatic acute subdural hematomas.

BACKGROUND Traumatic brain injury represents a significant cause of mortality and permanent disability in the adult population. Acute subdural hematoma is one of the conditions most strongly associated with severe brain injury. Knowledge on the natural history of the illness and the outcomes of patients conservatively managed may help the neurosurgeon in the decision-making process. METHODS W...

Traumatic peritentorial subdural hematomas: a study of 32 cases.

AIM This study aimed to investigate the clinicoradiological features in patients with traumatic peritentorial subdural hematomas (SDHs). MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and radiological findings, management criteria, and outcomes in 32 patients with peritentorial SDHs. The outcomes were classified as favorable (good recovery or moderate disability) or poor (sever...

Interhemispheric Acute Subdural Hematomas

Dear Editor, Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) is a neurosurgical emergency. Interhemispheric acute subdural hematomas have been reported infrequently in the past. They are usually considered to be a distinct entity because of their unusual location and the fact that their management is still a matter of debate. The most common sites for ASDH are the fronto-parietal convexities and the middle cran...

Factors in the natural history of chronic subdural hematomas that influence their postoperative recurrence.

OBJECT Factors affecting the postoperative recurrence of chronic subdural hematomas (CSDHs) have not been sufficiently investigated. The authors have attempted to determine features of CSDHs that are associated with a high or low recurrence rate on the basis of the natural history of these lesions and their intracranial extension. METHODS One hundred six patients (82 men and 24 women) harbori...
