Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to investigate how prior anticoagulant treatment affects the characteristics of intracranial hematomas in patients with traumatic brain injury, specifically focusing on subdural hematomas.
- - A total of 135 patients were analyzed, revealing that those on anticoagulant therapy tended to have larger and more severe acute subdural hematomas, indicated by significant midline shift and increased hematoma thickness observed on CT scans.
- - The findings suggest that while anticoagulants alter imaging features of subdural hematomas, they do not significantly correlate with other types of brain injuries or conditions like cranial fractures and brain swelling.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can have severe consequences in most cases. Many therapeutic and neurosurgical strategies have been improved to optimize patient outcomes. However, despite adequate surgery and intensive care, death can still occur during hospitalization.

We conducted a retrospective study, which included a cohort of 135 consecutive patients diagnosed with ASDH who required surgical evacuation. We assessed the demographic and clinical data, the imaging data of the hematoma described by preoperative computed tomography (CT) and the type of neurosurgical intervention for hematoma evacuation via either craniectomy or craniotomy.
