摘要

Extradural hematoma (EDH) forms 0.5%1 of all head injuries. In selected patients conservative management may be a feasible option. We report 5 cases which were managed conservatively without neurological sequele. All patients were males between 18-30 (mean 23.4) years; location was frontal or parietal and volume of EDH between 9-23(mean 17.3) mL. However only patients with GCS 15/15 were considered for conservative management. Introduction Extradural Hematoma (EDH) forms 0.5% of all head injuries.1 Conventionally urgent evacuation is the accepted mode of management .2 With the routine use of Computer Tomogram(CT) for management of head injury patients , nonoperative management is being used more often in selected patients .1234 Five cases of EDH which were managed conservatively and discharged without neurological sequele, are reported here. The common factors amongst these cases have also been enumerated. Materials and method Patients having a traumatic EDH with a Glasgow coma Score (GCS) of 15/15 were included in the study. Other inclusion criteria were – Volume less than 25mL (as calculated by Peterson and Esperson equation), 5 absence of midline shift or mass effect and no other lesion on CT scan. Infratentorial EDH was excluded. All patients were monitored in a neurosurgical Intensive care unit. Specifically GCS, pulse, blood pressure, pupils were observed. The study did not interfere with the set neurosurgical protocols for head injury management. Results Out of 6 patients included one patient became drowsy and had to be operated. Five patients were successfully managed conservatively. Mode of injury was road traffic accident in all cases .A summary of the cases is shown in table 1 .All patients were males in the age group 18-30 years (mean age 23.4 years), Location was in the parietal region in 3 cases; frontal in two, The volume of EDH ranged from 9mL – 23mL (mean 17.3mL).At no point of time did any of the five case show any signs of raised intracranial pressure. Immediate neurosurgical care was available at all times.
