Hemorrhagic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology

Hemorrhagic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology

A hemorrhagic stroke develops when a cerebral blood vessel ruptures, allowing blood to escape into the surrounding brain tissue, as in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), or into the subarachnoid space, as in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Because the skull is a rigid compartment, the sudden presence of extravascular blood rapidly increases intracranial pressure and compresses adjacent neural structures, leading to immediate tissue injury and impaired cerebral perfusion.Mass Effect and Primary...

Traumatic Brain Injury l: Introduction

Traumatic Brain Injury l: Introduction

DefinitionTraumatic brain injury, or TBI, is a disturbance of normal brain function induced by an external mechanical force, such as a direct blow to the head or a penetrating injury. It can affect both brain structure and function, producing a wide range of clinical outcomes. TBI is a heterogeneous condition, meaning its effects may differ based on the type, location, and severity of the injury.Basis of ClassificationTBI is classified based on severity, injury mechanism, or pathophysiology. In...

Summary

Subperiosteal orbital hematoma (SOH) is a rare orbital injury. Surgical evacuation and drainage offer a safe and effective treatment, resolving hematomas completely and preventing complications.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Trauma Surgery

Background:

Subperiosteal orbital hematoma (SOH) is an uncommon consequence of midface trauma.
SOH can lead to orbital compartment syndrome, presenting as proptosis and vertical globe displacement.

Observation:

Two patients with SOH underwent surgical evacuation and drainage.
The procedure involved direct surgical intervention to address the hematoma.

Findings:

Both patients experienced complete and uneventful resolution of their hematomas.
Surgical decompression and drainage proved effective in evacuating the blood clot.

Implications:

Surgical decompression with drainage is a safe and simple method for SOH management.
This approach should be considered even in cases without immediate visual impairment to prevent sequelae.
