Endoscopic hematoma evacuation for acute subdural hematoma in a young patient: a case report.
Acute Medicine & Surgery 2017 October
Case: The standard treatment for acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) is large craniotomy; decompressive craniectomy may also be carried out, if needed, to prevent secondary brain damage. Recently, an endoscopic procedure for elderly patients with ASDH was carried out and reported; its safety and effectiveness were emphasized because of minimal invasiveness. We report a young case and discuss its difficulties and tips.A 31-year-old man was found to be in a state of general convulsion. At the time of admission, we observed severe consciousness disturbance, anisocoria, and left hemiparesis. Computed tomography showed a massive subdural hematoma with marked midline shift.
Outcome: Osmotherapy and emergency trepanation improved anisocoria. An endoscopic procedure under local anesthesia was sequentially selected. After surgery, the patient's symptoms clearly improved.
Conclusion: Although the standard treatment for ASDH is craniotomy, endoscopic surgery may be useful in some cases.
