Twist-drill craniostomy, burr-hole washout, and craniotomy are the mainstays of treatment, with subdural-peritoneal shunting reserved for intractable cases.doi:10.1016/S1042-3680(18)30108-6Ali Sadrolhefazi MDStephen M. Bloomfield MDNeurosurgery Clinics of North America...
Objective To explore the optimal operation timing and operation strategy of multiple traumatic intracranial hematomas(MTICH).Methods We retrospectively studied two different craniotomy strategies in 68 cases of MTICH.According to the timing of surgery,patients were divided into two groups.Patients in gro...
The patient underwent craniotomy with evacuation of bilateral SDH. No other abnormalities were noted intraoperatively, nor did any postoperative complications occur. The patient did well after the procedure with marked improvement of her symptoms. During the course of her hospital stay, the diplopia ...
Biparietal craniotomy was immediately performed. To our surprise, the lesion was not an epidural hematoma but a soft whitish tumor both subcutaneously and in the epidural space. Gross total tumor resection was performed (Figure 1c). Histopathology revealed a diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin ...
CONCLUSION: Treatment of recurrent chronic subdural hematoma is usually straightforward; however, it can sometimes be refractory to regular treatment. In managing such cases, we recommend placement of a subdural-peritoneal shunt in preference to a more complicated craniotomy and membranectomy.doi:10.1016...

Postoperative CT showed adequate evacuation of the hematoma. The patient regained consciousness and was discharged after 2 months. Conclusion: Bilateral TICH was rapidly and sequentially removed by burr-hole craniotomy and endoscopic hematoma evacuation without rapid decompression by craniotomy. The hem...
Here, we report a case of a 61-year-old male diagnosed with bilateral CSDH managed by craniotomy and clot evacuation who developed parkinsonism. We share several learnings (clinical pearls) that emerged from the close collaboration and co-learning curve between a family physician and ...
