Article Synopsis
- Subdural hematoma (SDH) is a serious brain condition primarily affecting older adults, for whom traditional surgery poses high risks due to possible complications and blood loss.
- The study examined six patients treated with endoscopic evacuation, a minimally invasive method that uses a burr hole and rigid lens endoscope to remove hematomas more efficiently.
- Results showed no surgical fatalities among patients aged 63 to 84, with significant improvements in hematoma clearance rates, demonstrating the effectiveness of endoscope-assisted techniques for this demographic while highlighting the need for further research on patient selection and long-term outcomes.
Background: Flow diverter stenting is an effective treatment for large proximal internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms. Cranial neuropathy caused by the mass effect of the aneurysm usually subsides over time. However, a new onset of compressive optic neuropathy after successful flow diverter stenting of a large proximal ICA aneurysm is seldom reported.
