چکیده
The Subdural Evacuating Port System is a new device intended to simplify the treatment of subacute/chronic subdural hematomas. The appearance of the winged canula positioned with its tip in the diploic space overlying the subdural space should allow the radiologist to identify it correctly. Its radiographic features are described here to help the radiologist comment on appropriate placement, and avoid mistaking it for a misplaced subdural drain.

متن کاملKeyhole Revision after Failed Subdural Craniostomy for Chronic Subdural Hematoma
Introduction: An emerging treatment for chronic subdural hematomas is subdural craniostomy using a twist drill port system. While this system has the advantage of being placed in the intensive care setting, and not the operating room, incomplete hematoma evacuation is not uncommon. We detail a simple surgical technique that can be used for persistent or recurrent collections. Materials and Meth...
