Post-traumatic subdural hygroma: About two cases
Journal Title: The Journal of Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
We report two clinical cases of subdural hygroma (SDH) in two male patients respectively aged 37 years and 44 years whose etiological factor was a cranio-encephalic traumatism. The cerebral scansperformed had shown a bi-frontoparietal SDH in one patient and a right fronto-parieto-occipital SDH in the other. They had been placed under corticotherapy. The disease course was marked by a transformation of the SDH into subdural hematoma in one of the two patients
