Traumatic interhemispheric subdural hematomas (ISH) may not always require surgery. Some patients improve with non-surgical management, especially if CT scans show open convexity cisterns.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Traumatic interhemispheric subdural hematomas (ISH) are typically associated with acute neurological deficits.
  • Classical presentations include contralateral monoparesis, hemiparesis, or paraparesis, often necessitating early surgical evacuation.

Observation:

  • A series of 5 cases with traumatic ISH presented atypical clinical pictures.
  • None of the cases exhibited the classically described neurological deficits.
  • Three patients in the series recovered without surgical intervention.

Findings:

  • The indication for operative evacuation of traumatic ISH should be based on the clinical course.
  • Patients with spontaneously improving symptomatology may benefit from non-surgical management.

  • The presence of open convexity cisterns on CT scans may suggest conservative management is appropriate.

    • Implications:

    • Clinical presentation and patient recovery trajectory are crucial for treatment decisions in traumatic ISH.
    • Non-operative management under close supervision can be a viable option for selected patients.
    • CT findings, such as open convexity cisterns, can guide conservative treatment strategies for traumatic ISH.
