With the advancement of medicine and the development of surgical techniques, Professor Dr. Yousry Anwar El-Hamili, Professor of Neurosurgery and Spine Surgery at Cairo University Medical School, and his team strive to provide the best services for the surgical drainage of hematomas. In certain cases, surgical intervention is crucial to restoring the patient’s health and normal functions and potentially saving their life.
Dr. Yousry and his team possess high skills and extensive experience in neurosurgery, ensuring the highest levels of care and quality for patients. The team utilizes the latest surgical techniques and medical equipment to accurately and safely drain hematomas, focusing on minimizing complications and achieving the best outcomes for patients. Below are some details.
Intracranial hematomas are accumulations of blood inside the skull, typically resulting from a ruptured blood vessel in the brain. They can also occur due to injuries such as car accidents or falls. Blood can accumulate in brain tissues or under the skull, exerting pressure on the brain.
Brain hematomas may result from vessel rupture due to injury, severe hypertension, brain infections, or brain surgeries. Common symptoms of brain hematomas include:
It’s important to note that brain hematomas are emergencies requiring immediate treatment, often involving surgical removal of the hematoma to relieve brain pressure and prevent serious complications.
The types of brain hematomas include:
This type occurs when blood vessels between the brain and the outer covering (dura mater) rupture. Blood leakage forms a hematoma that presses on brain tissues, potentially leading to gradual loss of consciousness and even death.
There are three types: acute, subacute, and chronic, differing in symptom onset and severity. Risk factors include:
This type occurs when blood vessels between the dura mater and the skull rupture, causing blood to accumulate between these layers and form a mass that pressures brain tissues. It is often injury-induced and can be fatal if it affects a brain artery.
Also known as a cerebral hematoma, this type involves blood accumulation within brain tissues. Causes can include injury, ruptured aneurysms, high blood pressure, or tumors. Sudden blood leakage in the brain can be deadly, especially following head trauma.
Draining hematomas typically involves surgery, depending on the type and size of the hematoma. Options include:
If blood accumulates in a specific area and transitions from a solid clot to a liquid, the doctor may create a small opening in the skull and use suction to remove the fluid.
Large hematomas may require a craniotomy, where part of the skull is removed to access and remove the blood. The procedure involves:
After hematoma drainage surgery, the patient receives:
