Abstract :

This study was carried out to find out the Age, Sex, Mode of injury, Localisation, Clinical presentation, NCCT Brain findings, Operative measures and Outcome of Extradural haematoma (EDH) in the patients presenting at IPGME&R and SSKM Hospital, Kolkata. 149 consecutive patients with cranial Extradural haematoma (EDH) who underwent surgical intervention in Department of Neurosurgery from September 2012 to September 2014 were included in this prospective study. Out of 149 patients 79.86% were Male and 20.14 were Females. Age ranged from less than 5 years to more than 50 years. Commonest age group was 16 to 35 years. Most common Mode of injury was Road traffic accidents (RTA) 63.08% followed by Headache/ Nausea and Vomiting 39.3%. In this present prospective study of 149 cases of Extradural haematoma (EDH), Frontal region was involved in 28.85% cases followed by Prietal region in 27.51% cases. 13 Patients (8.72%) were died. Extradural haematoma (EDH) is a neurosurgical emergency where early surgical intervention is associated with the best prognosis. Many factors affects the outcome of EDH surgery and the most important one is the time duration between incident/accident and operative intervention taken. Mortality can be closed to 0% if this time duration can be minimized.
