ЁЯза A LIFE-SAVING JOURNEY тАФ FROM EMERGENCY TO RECOVERY
A young man presented with a posterior fossa epidural hematoma (EDH) requiring urgent surgical intervention.
ЁЯФ╣ Pre-operative scan: Significant posterior fossa EDH with mass effect
ЁЯФ╣ Surgery: Emergency evacuation of the hematoma
ЁЯФ╣ Post-operative scan: Complete removal of the EDH with satisfactory decompression
ЁЯФ╣ Clinical outcome: Patient is doing well and recovering satisfactorily ЁЯЩП
Posterior fossa hematomas can be particularly dangerous because even a relatively small collection can cause rapid brainstem compression and obstructive hydrocephalus.
тП▒я╕П Early recognition + timely surgery can make the difference between life and disability.
Another reminder of why, in neurosurgery, every minute matters. ЁЯза
