RESUMO
The authors performed burr hole exploration for the diagnosis of intracranial haematomas in 110 consecutive patients with severe head injury. Burr hole revealed extra-axial mass lesions in 61 patients and 49 patients had negative exploration. Post-mortem study showed that only a very few clots were missed by routine burr holes. The study indicated that diagnostic burr hole exploration was a sensitive method for detecting extracerebral mass lesions in centres where CT scanning facilities were not available.
