Purpose: D-dimer, a fibrinolysis indicator, may predict functional and life outcomes in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. We aimed to identify optimal D-dimer cutoff values for poor functional outcomes in severe TBI.
Methods: We used data from a multi-centre prospective observational cohort study that included patients with TBI with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score ≤ 8 within 48 h after injury or required neurosurgical procedures.

Acute epidural hematoma is one of the most serious traumatic conditions in neurosurgery, for which emergency surgery may be indicated. Injury to the middle meningeal artery (MMA) is generally the cause of hemorrhage, often accompanied by convexity fractures resulting from head trauma. However, an epidural hematoma by a contusion of the jaw is very rare.
