Hematoma Subdural

Hematomas are collections of blood inside the skull. This may cause heaviness, pain or paralysis. Even a small amount of blood can be life-threatening if it is not removed in time.

The causes of brain hematoma in children are various head injuries: blows or falls from a height. Hematomas most often affect children about 1 year old, male children. With minor hemorrhages, a short-term loss of consciousness is possible. It is dangerous when infant hematomas compress brain tissue, causing convulsions and rapid loss of consciousness, even death. In older children and adolescents, hematomas can compress the arteries that supply brain tissue. In this case, blood circulation to the brain is disrupted. Symptoms of hematoma in the meninges in children are of a very different nature. Often these can be nausea, vomiting, decreased facial sensitivity, and difficulty swallowing. The child becomes drowsy and rarely cries. There may be sensations in which it is as if “exploding” in the head. Very often, parents notice that the child is not interested in games or toys that usually captivate him. Only a doctor can diagnose all these symptoms. The phenomenon is so dangerous that the victim must be urgently taken to the hospital. Diagnosis of bloody hematomas is based on measuring intraocular pressure, the results of fluoroscopy of the skull, performing an electroencephalogram and magnetic resonance imaging. A laboratory blood test is also performed.

Homosurgery has extensive experience in the treatment of open percutaneous surgeries. An important indicator is the problem of treating subcortical subdural hematoma. The history of the development of surgery in this region dates back to the opening of the Syracuse Hospital in Rome in 549 BC. In this building, in addition to
