Chronic subdural hematoma (SDH) is projected to be the most common cranial neurosurgical condition in adults with projections suggesting approximately 60,000 new cases diagnosed annually in the ...

Subdural hematomas are recognized by their crescent shape overlying and compressing the brain. They are arbitrarily divided into three types: acute (< 4 days), subacute (4-21 days) and chronic (> 21 ...

Heit and colleagues additionally reported that sensitivity for detection of chronic SDH (91.5%; 95% CI, 80.1-.96.6) did not differ from either acute or subacute SDH (92.7%; 95% CI, 86.3-96.3 ...

An MRI of the brain, both with and without contrast, showed subacute to chronic subdural hematomas with an acute component on the left side. The MRI also indicated diffuse smooth thickening and ...

Researchers found the combo of surgery plus embolization reduced the need for repeat surgeries by nearly threefold. The study involved 400 patients with subdural hematomas treated at 39 medical ...

These "subdural hematomas" typically require surgery to fix, but a new study suggests a better approach, one that makes sure repeat surgeries aren't required.

The study involved 400 patients with subdural hematomas treated at 39 medical centers. The patients, who averaged 72 years of age, got either standard hematoma surgery (203 patients) or surgery ...

Symptoms of chronic subdural hematoma can come on slowly over days or weeks, sometimes after a fall that at first didn't seem serious. Symptoms include weakness, numbness, headaches, nausea ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A dramatic, threefold reduction in repeat operations in patients surgically treated for chronic subdural hematoma was achieved when the artery supplying the brain covering was ...
