Management of a patient with a closed head injury is based on neurologic status and computerized tomography scan results. We hypothesized that those patients with an epidural hematoma (EDH) or subdural hematoma (SDH) <1 cm in thickness could safely be treated nonoperatively.
We retrospectively reviewed charts of 204 consecutive patients with either an EDH or SDH.
There were 122 lesions < or =1 cm and 82 lesions >1 cm. In the first group, 115 were managed nonoperatively, with 111 good outcomes (minimal deficit with a Rancho Los Amigos score [RLAS] > or =3), two poor outcomes (severely disabled with RLAS <3), and two deaths. Twenty-eight patients with lesions greater than 1 cm had concomitant cerebral edema (CE) with an 89% mortality rate. The mortality rate in this group without CE was 20%, demonstrating the presence of CE in this group may have adversely affected the mortality rate, regardless of intervention.
This data suggests that EDH or SDH <1 cm thick can be safely managed nonoperatively unless there is concomitant CE.
闭合性颅脑损伤患者的治疗基于神经学状态和计算机断层扫描结果。我们推测,硬膜外血肿(EDH)或硬膜下血肿(SDH)厚度<1 cm的患者可以安全地接受非手术治疗。
我们回顾性分析了204例连续的EDH或SDH患者的病历。
有122个血肿厚度≤1 cm,82个血肿厚度>1 cm。在第一组中,115例接受非手术治疗,其中111例预后良好(Rancho Los Amigos评分[RLAS]≥3,轻度功能障碍),2例预后差(RLAS<3,严重残疾),2例死亡。28例血肿厚度大于1 cm的患者伴有脑水肿(CE),死亡率为89%。该组无CE患者的死亡率为20%,表明无论采取何种干预措施,该组中CE的存在可能对死亡率产生了不利影响。
该数据表明,厚度<1 cm的EDH或SDH可以安全地接受非手术治疗,除非伴有CE。
