Ⅰ.はじめに
後頭蓋窩に発生する外傷性急性硬膜下血腫(acute subdural hemorrhage:ASDH)は稀であるが,中でもテント上外傷性血腫や脳幹・小脳挫傷を伴う病変は極めて予後不良である5).今回われわれは,テント上外傷性血腫に併発した後頭蓋窩ASDHに対して,複数回にわたる外科的手術を要した3症例を経験したので,文献的考察を踏まえて報告する.
Acute subdural hemorrhage(ASDH)in the posterior cranial fossa is rare. Extremely unfavorable outcomes are reported among cases accompanied by supratentorial hematoma, brainstem contusion, or intracerebellar contusion.
We report three cases surgically evacuated several times for traumatic ASDH in the posterior cranial fossa simultaneously accompanied by supratentorial hematomas. In our three presented cases, the mean age was 72.3 years, and all patients were male. The mechanisms of injury included traffic accidents in two cases and fall in one. The median Glasgow Coma Scale score on admission was 6. On admission, the patients had traumatic ASDH in the posterior cranial fossa accompanied by supratentorial hematoma, so they first underwent external decompression or ICP sensor insertion for the supratentorial lesions. However, after their first surgery, all patients developed upward herniation, and subsequently underwent suboccipital craniotomy and evacuation of hematomas. Glasgow Outcome Scales were death in one case, persistent vegetable state in one case, and severe disability in one case.
The patients with ASDH in the posterior cranial fossa accompanied by supratentorial hematoma should immediately undergo suboccipital craniotomy and supratentorial decompression simultaneously when the hematomas compress the brainstem and upward herniation develops.
