Uncategorized [Comparison] Acute Intracranial Hemorrhage After Head Trauma: Emergency Levels and Prognosis of Epidural, Subdural, and Subarachnoid Hematomas
Following a blow to the head, the greatest threat to life is traumatic intracranial hemorrhage—bleeding that occurs between the skull and the brain. Acute Epidural Hematoma (EDH) and Acute Subdural Hematoma (ASH) are particularly urgent conditions. Their degree of emergency and prognosis differ significantly depending on the site of occurrence, the source of bleeding, and the shape of the hematoma on CT scans (e.g., lenticular vs. crescentic).This article provides a comprehensive comparison of EDH, ASH, and Traumatic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (tSAH)based on their causes, imaging findings, and outlooks. Understanding the risks of brain herniation and complications like delayed vasospasm is essential for rapid diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
