Summary

Subacute epidural hematomas, diagnosed via CT 48 hours post-trauma, often occurred outside the temporal region. Treatment decisions for these brain injuries depended on intracranial pressure and neurological signs.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neuroradiology
  • Trauma Medicine

Background:

  • Subacute epidural hematomas are a less common consequence of craniocerebral trauma.
  • Diagnosis and management require careful consideration of clinical presentation and imaging findings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on a series of patients with subacute epidural hematoma.
  • To describe the location, diagnostic features, and treatment indications for these hematomas.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of eleven patients diagnosed with subacute epidural hematoma via computed tomography (CT) within 48 hours of head injury.
  • Analysis of hematoma location, capsule visualization, and clinical data.

Main Results:

  • Hematomas were most frequently located outside the temporal region.
  • In some cases, the hematoma capsule was identifiable on CT.
  • Indications for surgical intervention included rising intracranial pressure and persistent focal central nervous system (CNS) injury signs.
  • Conservative management was effective for patients with stable midline shifts (<5 mm) and specific fracture patterns.

Conclusions:

  • Subacute epidural hematomas present unique diagnostic and management challenges.
  • CT is crucial for diagnosis and guiding treatment decisions.
  • Conservative management can be successful in select cases, while surgical intervention is indicated for progressive neurological deficits.
