Chronic Intracerebral Hematoma Associated with Ipsilateral Chronic Subdural Hematoma in a Head injured Patient Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although some intracerebral hematomas have been known to increase in size chronically and produce delayed neurological deficits, the mechanism of hematoma expansion is not well understood. The authors present a case of a head injured patient with coexistence of a chronic intracerebral hematoma and an ipsilateral chronic subdural hematoma that expanded chronically showing clinical deterioration, in whom the simultaneous expansion of hematomas was observed sequentially from the beginning with neuroimaging studies. The will also discuss the mechanisms involved in hematoma enlargement.

متن کاملDiagnostic value of stationary potential measurement in head injuries.
Traumatic brain injuries were analysed clinically and experimentally by recording stationary potential(SP) which is a very stable component in the electrical phenomena of the brain. SP value is considered to change positively or negatively only when there are organic lesions, severe metabolic changes of the brain, or epileptic seizures. Clinically, we have measured the SP of 103 head-injure...
