Abstract: ObjectiveTo discuss the clinical characteristics and therapeutic strategy of acute epidural hematoma(EDH) with mixed density on CT.MethodsThe clinical data of 45 patients with acute EDH with mixed density on the first CT after trauma were analyzed retrospectively.Acute EDH form trauma with mixed density on CT images were compared with those which had homogenesis density on CT images at the same time.ResultsThe opportunity of increasing size of hematoma and the mortality was significantly higher in mixed density hematoma( 82.1％,16.2％ )than that of homogenesis density( 17.7％,2.3％ ) ( all P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionEDH with mixed density was a hyperacute EDH.The operation for acute EDH from trauma with mixed density on CT image should be prompt.
