There are no established treatment procedures for repeatedly recurring chronic subdural hematoma (CSH). In this study, we discussed the efficacy of middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization in preventing recurrence of CSH.
We performed superselective angiography of MMA in four patients who suffered from repeated recurrence of CSH. After angiography, we performed embolization of MMA with endovascular procedure.
In all cases, superselective angiography of MMA revealed diffuse abnormal vascular stains that seemed to represent the macrocapillaries in the outer membrane of CSH. In all the patients, there were no recurrences or enlargements of CSH after the embolization of the MMA.
MMA embolization can be an effective adjuvant procedure in preventing the recurrence of CSH.
对于反复复发的慢性硬膜下血肿(CSH),尚无既定的治疗程序。在本研究中,我们探讨了脑膜中动脉(MMA)栓塞术在预防CSH复发方面的疗效。
我们对4例CSH反复复发的患者进行了MMA超选择性血管造影。血管造影后,我们采用血管内介入方法对MMA进行栓塞。
在所有病例中,MMA超选择性血管造影均显示弥漫性异常血管染色,似乎代表CSH外膜中的大毛细血管。所有患者在MMA栓塞术后均未出现CSH复发或增大。
MMA栓塞术可能是预防CSH复发的一种有效辅助方法。
