Treatment The treatment of elbowhygromasshould be conservative whenever possible. Conservative management of the elbow hygroma is aimed at relieving the source of pressure at the point of the elbow. In early and mild cases, simply providing padding to cover hard surfaces will result in resolution ...

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...
We report a case of a 43-year-old man treated by craniotomy for chronical subdural hematoma (CSH) due to spontaneous intracranial hypovolemia. The patient complained of sudden onset severe headache. Initial CT scan showed normal brain structure, and his headache improved with bed rest in a few...
Tight brainWhile both DKA & CSDH/subdural hygroma/ are known to cause significant morbidity and mortality, there is no a study that shows the role & effect of DKA on CSDH/subdural hygroma/ & vice versa to authors' best knowledge; hence this work will show how important relation does ...
In this paper, we present treatment of two patients whose TSH was effectively treated with simple drainage and cranioplasty. Case Presentation: Patient 1: The patient is a 34-year-old female who had bilateral craniectomy for brain swelling. Four weeks later she became less interactive. CT scan ...

A large subdural fluid collection was discovered incidentally during a routine CT scan of the brain 5days after the SAH. The patient remained asymptomatic; therefore, the collection was treated conservatively. It resolved spontaneously at five days after the initial diagnosis. Conclusion Subdural fluid...
A brain computed tomography scan showed marked midline shift in the direction opposite to the craniectomy site with subfalcine herniation and effacement of the peripontine cisterns. Paradoxical brain herniation (PBH) was diagnosed. Conservative treatment failed, and the patient required an emergency ...
No surgical treatment was carried out, and the follow-up CT scan on the 29th post-traumatic day demonstrated no change in size. The two young patients were slightly symptomatic during the period involved, and the repeat unenchanced CT scans showed subdural lesions of less than brain density, ...
