  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Decompressive craniectomy in the management of acute traumatic subdural hematoma (acute SDH) has been advocated as a treatment for the cerebral edema or swelling associated with it. The bony decompression with dural grafting seems successful in some patients, but surely enhances cerebral swelling and exacerbates edema in others. Whether the external or internal decompression could be justified is therefore a subject of controversy for the surgical treatment of choice. The authors, herein, proposed the new method with small cra-niectomy, 3 cm in diameter and irrigation with Nelaton's catheter for acute SDH with cerebral edema or swelling, that is the hematoma irrigation with trephination therapy (HITT) and performed it in 27 adult cases, 19 to 84 years of age (20 males and 7 females), who were transported within 24 hours after trauma and hospitalized in Depart-ment of Emergency Medicine, University of To-kyo Hospital during the period from January, 1982 to January, 1984, whose Glasgow coma scale points were 3 to 8 on admission, 16 cases (59%) of whom showed unilatral or bilateral absence of light re-flex. The patients were all placed under the intensive care, using artificial ventilation (27 cases, 100%), hemodynamic management with Swan-Ganz catheter insertion (10 cases, 37%), continuous in-tracranial pressure monitoring (27 cases, 100%) and barbiturate therapy (13 cases, 48%).

Ten cases (37%) recovered, 3 (11%) fell in vege-tative state, 2 of whom died of medical complica-tions afterwards and 14 (52%) could not avoid progressive deterioration to result in brain death. HITT, being easier and less invasive operative procedure for acute SDH, resulted in the overall mortality rate of 59%, which proved not neces-sarily superior or inferior to the conventional methods to manage acute SDH with brain edema or swelling and yet undoubtedly was sufficient to re-examine how large decompressive operations should be appreciated.
