Overview

The development of acute subdural haematoma occurs typically soon after a head trauma and its presence shows on CT scan immediately after admission. Spontaneous haematomas are also described, especially those associated with coagulopathies, as well as delayed haema­tomas occurring with latency after a known head injury. A group of 116 patients who had suffered from acute subdural haemorrhage was analyzed retrospectively. Most of them (96.6%) were operated upon soon after admission. In four cases (3.4%), a deterioration of clinical status occurred after an interval of 1–4 days. Second CT scans revealed the development of delayed acute subdural haemorrhage and all of them were operated upon immedia­tely. The first CT was negative only in one case; subarachnoid haemorrhage or skull fracture was found in three cases. Two patients were given warfarin, one was thrombocytopenic and another had serious hepatic coagulopathy.

Key words:
delayed subdural hematoma – spontaneous subdural hematoma – acute subdural hematoma
