  • Look Inside

1) Four cases of acute and one case of subacute extradural hematoma were encountered in the neuro-surgical department of the University of Tokyo Hospital.

All cases were accompanied by skull fracture on the ipsilateral side of the hematoma, one of which was not demonstrated on the roentgen-film. Even if decerebrated state was evident on admission, early and proper operation could relieve the patient from the seriousness and grave condition, and a good prog-nosis for survival could be expected.

2) Six cases of acute and three cases of subacute subdural hematoma were encountered in the above mentioned Hospital.

Six patients out of a total of nine were below two years of age.

The severity of trauma was moderate or slight. The direction of blow was mainly to the occipital region of the head. Three cases were striking in the fact that although the trauma was slight, the patients lost their consciousness followed by con-vulsion, after a very short period of lucid interval. The clinical course afterwards very rapidly deteri-orated from bad to worst and immediate surgical intervention could save only one patient, leaving the remaining two in the hands of death.

The lucid interval followed by sudden and con-tinuous loss of consciousness with convulsion was the common typical feature of the early-stage sub-dural hematoma. The longest lucid interval in this series was seven days.

Retinal hemorrhage was found in six cases out of eight examined and therefore this phenomena could be considered as one of the important signs in the diagnosis of these subdural hematoma.

In six cases verified, the source of bleeding was the rupture of the bridging vein from the cortical surface to the superior longitudinal sinus or to the dural lacuna; and no cortical contusion or laceration was found.

The prognosis of survivors was excellent in gene-ral.
