Clinical and Radiological Criteria for Surgery in Posttraumatic Extradural Hematoma: An Update from Central India.

 The surgical management guidelines for any intracranial hemorrhage were objectively defined by the Brain Trauma Foundation (BTF) in 2006 for patients who should be treated surgically or conservatively. Since then, not much work has been done toward the identification of patients who are at high risk and may have progression of the hematoma who may ultimately require surgery. This study aimed to apply the said criteria to all patients coming to the hospital with extradural hematoma (EDH) and analyze the outcome of the patient whether treated conservatively or surgically on the basis of the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) and to observe the factors and variables that are associated with EDH that will help in furthering the demographic design of the entity in central India.
