Delayed traumatic intracerebral haemorrhage.

G Baratham, W G Dennyson

    Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
    |October 1, 1972
    PubMed
    Summary

    Delayed intracerebral hematomata following head injury are rare but share etiological factors with subdural hematomata. Management with angiography and craniotomy is most effective for these traumatic brain injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Neurology
    • Trauma Medicine

    Background:

    • Delayed intracerebral hematomata are a rare complication of head injuries.
    • Their occurrence and characteristics may offer insights into traumatic brain injury mechanisms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence, characteristics, and etiological factors of delayed intracerebral hematomata.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of different management strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 7,866 head injury cases.
    • Comparison of demographic and clinical data with subdural and extradural hematomata.
    • Review of management outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • 21 cases of delayed intracerebral hematomata were identified.
    • Age distribution similar to subdural hematomata, distinct from extradural.
    • Minor initial trauma and longer asymptomatic intervals were noted.
    • Neurological deterioration primarily due to increased intracranial pressure.
    • Angiography followed by craniotomy yielded the best results.

    Conclusions:

    • Delayed intracerebral hematomata may share etiological factors with subdural hematomata.
    • Contusional injury can disrupt cerebral blood flow regulation, leading to gradual hematoma formation.
    • Surgical intervention, particularly angiography and craniotomy, is crucial for effective management.
