Abstract

Objective Compare 30 days mortality of patients harboring acute subdural hematomas in two series, one treated only by wide aspiration of hematoma and other with aspiration followed by decompressive craniectomy.

Methods Comparing retrospectively two series of ASD with and without DC. Involved 81 TBI patients with acute subdural hematoma and GCS ≤ 8 (Jan 2000 to Nov 2014) arranged into two groups. Group 1 - 58 cases underwent to DC. Group 2 - 23 patients underwent only hematoma aspiration.

Results Group 1 showed 44.8% mortality directly due to brain lesion within 30 days. The most frequent associated lesion were contusion in 37.2%. Group 2 the mortality within 30 days was 47.8%. The majority of deaths (82%) resulted from uncontrollable brain swelling, midline shift was present in 94.7% of patients.

Conclusion High admission GCS and age less than 50 remain better outcome predictor in 30 days survival for patients undergoing surgery of traumatic ASDH.

Resumo

Objetivo Comparar a mortalidade em 30 dias de pacientes que sofreram hematoma subdural agudo em duas séries, uma tratada por aspiração do hematoma e outro por aspiração seguida de craniectomia descompressiva.

Métodos Comparar retrospectivamente duas séries de HSD com e sem CD. Envolveu 81 pacientes com TCE com hematoma subdural agudo e GCS ≤ 8 (Jan 2000 a Nov 2014) em dois grupos. Grupo 1–58 casos tratados submetidos a CD. Grupo 2–23 pacientes submetidos a drenagem do hematoma somente.

Resultados Grupo 1 apresentou 44,8% de mortalidade diretamente devido a lesão cerebral dentro de 30 dias. A mais comum lesão associada era contusão em 37,2%. Grupo 2 a mortalidade dentro de 30 dias foi 47,8%. A maioria dos óbitos (82) resultou de edema cerebral incontrolável, desvio de linha média estava presente em 94,7% dos pacientes.

Conclusão Alto GCS de admissão e idade menor que 50 anos permanecem melhores preditores de desfecho na mortalidade em 30 dias para paciente submetidas a cirurgia de hematoma subdural agudo.
