Computerised tomography after recent severe head injury in patients without acute intracranial haematoma.
Sixty patients with severe head injury who did not have an acute intracranial haematoma on CAT scanning are reviewed. The scans are correlated with the level of consciousness at the time of scanning and with the outcome six months after injury. The initial scan was interpreted as being normal in 38% of the cases. In the remainder the most common abnormalities were small ventricles and areas of ...
متن کاملManagement of traumatic intracranial haematoma.
Deciding which head-injured patients should be transferred to a neurosurgical unit can be difficult. Traditional criteria emphasise the development of deteriorating responsiveness but lead to delayed diagnosis and to avoidable mortality and morbidity. To discover if a more liberal admission policy improved results a study was conducted analysing data collected prospectively from 683 patients wh...
متن کاملComputerised tomography and acute traumatic head injury: time for change?
The aim was to reconsider the "Guidelines for initial management of head injury in adults"--particularly with respect to the indications for computerised tomographic (CT) scanning--suggested by "a group of neurosurgeons" over a decade ago and still followed in some accident and emergency (A&E) departments. These recommendations are placed in the context of more recent research and the increased...
متن کاملRisks of acute traumatic intracranial haematoma in children and adults: implications for managing head injuries.
OBJECTIVE To determine the factors influencing the risk of an acute traumatic intracranial haematoma in children and adults with a recent head injury. DESIGN Prospective study of incidence of risk factors in samples of patients attending accident and emergency departments and in all patients having an acute traumatic intracranial haematoma evacuated in one regional neurosurgical unit during 1...
متن کاملFive cases of intracranial tuberculoma followed by serial computerised tomography.
Five cases of intracranial tuberculoma in Asian adults are described, all of whom presented with epilepsy. The computerised tomographic (CAT) scanner displayed the lesions particularly well, and their characteristics are described. Only two cases were explored surgically, but triple antituberculous chemotherapy has the scan abnormalities in all of them to resolve completely. It is concluded tha...
