Surgical Management & Clinical Outcome of Severe Brain Trauma due to Acute Subdural Hematoma.
Keywords:
Acute subdural hematoma, midline shift, Glasgow Coma Scale.Abstract
Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) is a collection of clotting blood that forms in the subdural space & it remains one of the most difficult tasks faced by neurosurgeons because of the high mortality and morbidity of the disease.The usual mechanism of an acute subdural hematoma is a high-speed impact to the skull. This causes brain tissue to accelerate or decelerate relative to the fixed dural structures, tearing blood vessels. The aim of our study was to examine the clinical outcome of patients managed by urgent surgery with
