A prospectively study were conducted in 77 cases of delayed intracranial hematomas after head injury (male 59 cases, female 18 cases, aged from 17-60) in the Neurosurgery Department of Cho Ray Hospital from October 2001 to August 2002. The mainly reason of admission was traffic accident. Methods of surgery were wide decompressive craniotomy and removal of hematoma without bone flap. The results: good outcomes: 62 cases, moderate outcomes: 9 cases, death: 6 cases, reoperation: 3 cases. The development of intracerebral hematomas after head injury is very complex. It can occur immediately after injury or delay although initial CT scan is normal or shows slight contusion. Therefore, the doctors must examine closely head injuries to find out delayed intracerebral hematomas for prompt operation to lessen later sequellas and mortality

A study on 13 deaths after operation for removal of the intracerebral blood clot has shown that the complex damage influenced almost cerebral structure due to severe trauma on the solve the intracranial pressure.It should combine many solutions (intensive care, CT scanner after operation) to limit the influence and development of the rest traumas.
Intracranial Pressure ; Blood Coagulation

Acute subdural hematoma in infants is rare. From 15/9 to 14/11/1997, 2 cases were found in the Neurosugery Department of Chî RÉy Hospital. Diagnosis was based on CT imaging. These patients were operated on emergency. Intensive care, with blood transfusion is crucial, should be performed concomitantly with operation. Preservation for skull is essential. Postoperation, intensive care, anti-epilepsy and respiratory infection treatments should be carried out.
