Abstract:
Non-operative treatment in 105 cases of acute traumatic intracranial hematomas confirmed by CT scan is reported. Results were satisfactory except in 6 cases in which operation was performed because of the worsening of their conditions. In this paper, the indication, method, and advantages of non-operative treatment are also discussed. We believe that the change of state of consciousness, size of hematoma, degree of shift of midline structures and cerebral contusion, and type of hematoma are decisive factors in making the choice of operative or non-operative treatment.
