Official title
A Combined Retrospective and Prospective Study of Surgical and Clinical Outcomes in Pediatric Patients With Extradural Hematoma Following Acute Head Injury
Overview
Acute extradural hematoma (EDH) is a potentially life-threatening neurosurgical emergency in children, commonly resulting from traumatic head injury. Early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention are critical factors influencing neurological recovery and overall outcome. Despite advances in neuroimaging and surgical techniques, the clinical presentation, management strategies, and outcomes of pediatric EDH remain variable
Interventions
- Procedure evacuation of hematoma
emergency craniotomy
Primary outcome measures
- Neurological outcome assessed by the King's Outcome Scale for Childhood Head Injury (KOSCHI) [Time frame: 3-6 month after surgery]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Pediatric patients (<18 years of age).
- Patients with traumatic extradural (epidural) hematoma.
- Patients who underwent surgical evacuation of the extradural hematoma.
Exclusion criteria
- Patients with coagulopathy.
- Patients with autoimmune disorders.
- Patients with a previous operation for extradural hematoma.
- Patients with associated intracranial hematomas (e.g., subdural hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or brain contusion).
- Patients with panfacial fractures.
- Patients with significant general surgical, cardiothoracic, or orthopedic comorbidit.
