[Bilateral traumatic subdural hematomas]. 1990

G A Pedachenko, and B A Kumar

The authors studied 57 verified cases of bilateral traumatic subdural hematomas (BTSH) 36 of which were acute, 4 subacute, and 17 chronic. The patient's ages ranged from 15 to 84 years. The clinical picture of BTSH is made up of general cerebral, primary-focal, and dislocation symptoms. Computerized tomography, serial cerebral angiography, and trephinations formed on both sides help in detection of BTSH. Simultaneous opening of the dura mater on both sides with slow evacuation of the contents of the hematomas is an important stage of surgical intervention in BTSH.

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D001921	Brain	The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.	Encephalon
D001930	Brain Injuries	Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.

D006408	Hematoma, Subdural	Accumulation of blood in the SUBDURAL SPACE between the DURA MATER and the arachnoidal layer of the MENINGES. This condition primarily occurs over the surface of a CEREBRAL HEMISPHERE, but may develop in the spinal canal (HEMATOMA, SUBDURAL, SPINAL). Subdural hematoma can be classified as the acute or the chronic form, with immediate or delayed symptom onset, respectively. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, severe HEADACHE, and deteriorating mental status.
