ABSTRACT
Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) has been a major part of traumatic brain injury.Intracranial hypertension may be followed by ASDH and brain edema. Regardless of the complicated pathophysiology of ASDH, the extent of primary brain injury underlying the ASDH is the most important factor affecting outcome. Ongoing intracranial pressure (ICP) increasing lead to cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) decrease and cerebral blood flow (CBF) decreasing occurred by CPP decrease. In additionally, disruption of cerebral autoregulation, vasospasm, decreasing of metabolic demand may lead to CBF decreasing. Various protocols for ICP lowering were introduced in neuro-trauma field. Usage of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) for ASDH patients have controversy. AEDs may reduce the risk of early seizure (<7 days), but, does not for late-onset epilepsy. Usage of anticoagulants/antiplatelets is increasing due to life-long medical disease conditions in aging populations. It makes a difficulty to decide the proper management. Tranexamic acid may use to reducing bleeding and reduce ASDH related death rate. Decompressive craniectomy for ASDH can reduce patient's death rate.However, it may be accompanied with surgical risks due to big operation and additional cranioplasty afterwards. If the craniotomy is a sufficient management for the ASDH, endoscopic surgery will be good alternative to a conventional larger craniotomy to evacuate the hematoma. The management plan for the ASDH should be individualized based on age, neurologic status, radiologic findings, and the patient's conditions.
