Abstract
Bu yazıda belirgin bası etkisi oluşturan ve acil cerrahi gerektiren geç epidural hematom olgusunun analizi sunulmaktadır. Böyle bir durumun oluşturacağı zararlardan korunmada klinik şüphe ile daha sık ve kolay bilgisayarlı tomografi incelemesinin anahtar rol oynadığını düşünüyoruz. Geç epidural hematomlar da klinik gerilemenin yakın takibi ile tekrar bilgisayarlı tomografi çekilmesi olguların erken saptanmasında en önemli faktördür.
Here we present an analysis of the case of delayed epidural hematoma which had a significant mass effect and required surgical evacuation. We consider that maintaining a high clinical suspicion, coupled with a low threshold for computed tomography scanning, is the key to morbidity prevention in this situation. Close observation for signs of clinical deterioration and repeat CT scan are the most important factors for early detection of the delayed epidural hematoma.
