Minimally Invasive Surgical Treatment of Acute Epidural Hematoma: Case Series

Figure 2

(a)–(d) Head CT images showing minimally invasive drainage treatment of acute epidural hematoma at the right temporal-parietal region, prior to and after surgery. (a) Head CT scan image prior to surgery. Hematoma volume was approximately 80 mL, midline shift. (b) Head CT scan image immediately after surgery; hematoma volume was markedly reduced with a residual amount of approximately 30 mL. (c) At 3 days after surgery, most of the hematoma has been drained; arrow indicates a drainage tube. (d) Five days after surgery, hematoma was almost cleared, and the drainage tube was pulled off.
