Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic subdural hematoma
Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases - Year 2024, Vol 50, Issue 1
Abstract
Chronic subdural hematoma is one of the common central nervous system diseases in middle-aged and elderly people, and the incidence is increasing year by year. Drill and drain surgery is recognized as one of the effective ways to treat chronic subdural hematoma. However, there still exists a non-negligible recurrence after surgery. In addition, with the aging of the population, senior patients may have many underlying diseases. Therefore, the risk of surgery is high and some patients even have contraindications to surgery due to the long-term use of anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs. In recent years, some progress has been made in the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma, such as oral atorvastatin can promote the absorption of chronic subdural hematoma, small-dose dexamethasone is used in the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma, neuroendoscopy-assisted treatment of segregated chronic subdural hematoma, and middle meningeal artery embolization surgery to reduce the recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma patients. Meanwhile, with the development of imaging, Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) have made some progress in the diagnosis of chronic subdural hematoma.
