[Neurosurgical treatment of traumatic intracerebral hematoma].
From January 1st to August 31st 2002 yr., Neurosurgical department of the Trauma Center, Clinical Center of Serbia, has operated 43 patients with posttraumatic intracerebral haemathoma (PTIH). From that number, 9 patients survived and 34 died. Only 4 patients with acute PTIH were in terminal state of incarceration and in spite they were operated immediately, all died. Other 39 patients have delayed PTIH where secondary CT cerebral scans showed the development of posttraumatic intracerebral haematoma that has not been verified at the incipient scanner. Indication for repeated CT scan was found for 19 patients for their focal or general neurological deterioration. 20 patients had no delayed neurological disturbances. Survivors were younger, in lower grade of coma and were mostly with temporal localisation of haemathoma.
