    Summary

    Post-traumatic subdural hygroma in adults shows diverse injury severity and chronicity. Computed tomography is crucial for differentiating hygromas from hematomas, impacting patient prognosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology
    • Trauma Care

    Background:

    • Post-traumatic subdural hygroma presents a diagnostic challenge.
    • Understanding its varied clinical presentations and radiological features is essential.

    Observation:

    • A review of 25 adult cases with detailed CT findings in 4.
    • Observed significant diversity in injury severity and lesion chronicity.
    • Angiography consistently delineated lesion sites.

    Findings:

    • Computed tomography (CT) enabled preoperative differentiation from subdural hematoma.
    • Mortality rate was 28%, with 48% achieving good recovery.
    • Younger patients with subacute or chronic lesions had the best prognosis.

    Implications:

    • CT is vital for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning of subdural hygromas.
    • Prognostic factors include patient age and lesion chronicity.
    • Further research into optimizing management strategies for diverse presentations is warranted.
