Twenty-one out of 7,866 head injuries were complicated by the development of delayed intracerebral haematomata. The age distribution of patients with this condition closely resembled that of patients with subdural haematomata and differed sharply from patients with extradural haemorrhage. This finding, combined with the fact that the two conditions often coexisted, suggests the possibility of s...

Hitherto interest in intracranial haemorrhage in the new-born has been centred mainly upon etiology and pathology. More recently symptomotology has received increasing attention. While the pathology of the subject in its relation to etiological factors has received considerable attention, few attempts have been made to correlate pathological with clinical findings. The present paper is based up...

UNLABELLED Although head CT is often routinely performed in emergency department (ED) patients with syncope, few studies have assessed its value. OBJECTIVES To determine the yield of routine head CT in ED patients with syncope and analyse the factors associated with a positive CT. METHODS Prospective, observational, cohort study of consecutive patients presenting with syncope to an urban te...

The diagnosis and management of acute subdural hematoma is important in neurosurgery practice. Rapid spontaneous resolution of acute subdural hematoma within a few hours is seen rarely on the CT scan. We present a case that enlarged the existent subdural hygroma showing rapid resolution of acute subdural hematoma with resolution in 9 hours after the trauma. Additionally, the follow-up CT scans ...

Introduction: Dehydration (DSH) in newborns can have potentially fatal consequences such as cerebral oedema, intracranial haemorrhage, subdural haematoma, hydrocephalus and gangrene. In light of the increasing number with dehydration, there is a strong need to increase awareness raise suspicion diagnosis this condition. Objective: To describe dehydration newborn, its complications method approp...

BACKGROUND The global incidence of fatal head injuries as the result of assault is greater than the number of non-fatal cases. The important factors that determine the outcome in terms of survival of such head injury cases include the type of weapon used, type and site of skull fracture, intra cranial haemorrhage and the brain injury. The present study aims to highlight the role of skull fractu...

BACKGROUND In emergency medicine for determining the intracranial injury (ICI) in children with head trauma, usually brain CT scan is performed. Since brain CT scan, especially in children, has some disadvantages, it is better to find a procedure which could help to choose only the children with real head trauma injury for brain CT scan. AIMS The aim of this study is to find such procedure. T...

Background and Aim: Traumatic subdural hygroma is the accumulation of CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) in subdural space following head trauma. The mass effect of hygroma on brain can impinge on consciousness. There are still many ambiguities on indications of hygroma surgery. This is an 11-year follow-up study which involves the patients suffering traumatic subdural hygroma who underwent surgery. Met...
