Temporal lobe lesions in head injury.

P N Tandon, B Prakash, A K Banerji

    Acta Neurochirurgica
    |January 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Temporal lobe lesions from head injuries can expand, often with subdural hematomas. Surgical decompression is crucial for most cases, though smaller lesions may improve with conservative care.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Closed head injuries frequently cause temporal lobe lesions, including contusions, lacerations, and intracerebral hematomas.
    • These lesions can lead to an expanding process, often accompanied by subdural hematomas.
    • Such injuries are typically severe, resulting in loss of consciousness and skull fractures, frequently as contrecoup injuries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the characteristics and management of temporal lobe lesions associated with head injuries.
    • To highlight diagnostic challenges and treatment strategies for these specific intracranial hematomas.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 85 cases of temporal lobe lesions from a consecutive series of 1,000 head injury cases.
    • Clinical assessment including neurological examination (contralateral hemiparesis, pupillary abnormalities).
    • Diagnostic imaging, primarily carotid angiography.

    Main Results:

    • Temporal lobe lesions are associated with severe head trauma, loss of consciousness, and skull fractures.
    • Contralateral hemiparesis and pupillary abnormalities are common clinical manifestations.
    • Lesions can be misdiagnosed as acute subdural hematoma or brain edema, and may be missed during exploratory burr holes.

    Conclusions:

    • Temporal lobe lesions require careful diagnosis, often aided by carotid angiography.
    • Prompt surgical decompression via frontotemporal osteoplastic craniotomy or Scoville trephine is essential for most cases.
    • Conservative management may be suitable for smaller lesions without progressive deterioration.
