The presumptive mechanism involves lumbar cerebrospinal leak, low intracranial pressure, downward displacement of the brain, cerebrospinal fluid accumulation into the inner dural layers of the cerebral convexities (hygromas) and bleeding into these fluid collections (hematomas)....
Initial computed tomography scan revealed left-sided fracture of the squamous part of the occipital bone without associated traumatic changes to the brain. A second spiral computed tomography scan was obtained two days later because of persisting symptoms of increased intracranial pressure. It ...
Risk factors for SDG and cSDH formation were analyzed.#Male sex, age≥60years, higher degree of arachnoid dissection, severe brain atrophy, and a large volume of subdural fluid collection (SFC) before discharge were independent risk factors for SDG formation. The risk factors for hemorrhagic ...

The most frequent concomitant injuries were brain contusions (50%) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (33.3%), respectively. The conservative group was treated symptomatically. The surgical group had burr hole evacuation (12 patients) and subdural peritoneal shunt (3 patients). No statistical significance in...

traumatic brain injuryObjective: Subdural hygroma (SDG) is a common complication that can occur after head trauma or secondary to decompressive craniectomy (DC). SDGs can be located not only ipsilateral or contralateral to the side of the DC, but also bilateral or unilateral in patients without ...
