What is the next step after subdural hematoma surgery?

My father suffered right subdural hematoma, and underwent surgery on 11/12/24 but on the repeat scan of 16/12/24, there was still residual hematoma, so what should be the further management. His bp stays high, in the range of 170-180 systolic, but diastolic is in normal range. Now he has left sided loss of power but he can move all limbs, gcs is 15/15, no vomiting or headache.

Answered on 20th Dec '24

Nice to know that your father is fully awake and GCS is intact at 15. A remaining hematoma can sometimes need extra checkups. His high blood pressure is dangerous and the doctors should address it as it has an impact on the recovery. The weakness in the left side of the body is probably due to the intermitted functioning of the hematoma in the brain. You must get advice from his neurologist for personalized management, which will cover such measures as controlling blood pressure, monitoring his symptoms carefully, or seeking additional intervention for a hematoma.

Questions & Answers on "Neurosurgery Treatment" (46)

I am 48 years old and suffering from carpal tunnel from past 6 years. Earlier problem was not so much but now I am feeling numbness in my right hand while writing or doing any particular work. Should I go for surgery? Is there any physiotherapy after surgery and after how long I can do writing work as I am a teacher

Female | 48

You should go for surgery if your symptoms are very severe and make it difficult for you to do your everyday activities. Yes, after surgery, physiotherapy is done for better flexibility and strength. When can you resume writing and other work depends on the type of surgery you had and other things. It is important to listen to your doctor and start writing only after consulting him.

Multiple sclerosis affects everyone differently. I suggest you to get a second opinion from a neurologist who specializes in MS. They can provide a treatment plan tailored to your mother's specific needs. It's important to continue any ongoing treatment while seeking additional medical advice.

Male | 24

You might be experiencing significant head discomfort, which could be due to a growth or lump. Such symptoms can cause concern. It's crucial to consult a doctor who can thoroughly examine you and provide appropriate treatment. Early detection makes treating conditions like cysts, tumors, or infections easier and more effective.

I am a 46yr old female, experienced hoarseness for more than a year after covid, I did a ct scan which reveals Avidly enhancing extra axial mass just posterior to the pineal gland. Pineal region meningioma vrs pineocytoma.

Female | 46

The CT scan showing a mass near your pineal gland could be a meningioma or a pineocytoma, two tumors that can have similar effects. Both of them may result in headaches and vision problems. A neurosurgeon can help run through the methods, and the main treatment can consist of surgery or other alternatives, as the specific type of tumor requires.

There is an issue in the lower part of your right lung, which could be causing coughing, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. The cause may be an infection, inflammation, or possibly a tumor. Treatment options vary, ranging from antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications to surgery, depending on the underlying cause. While it's a common health concern, it still requires medical attention.

Kya brain tb ka operation karna jaruri hai

Male | 12

SurGERY is not always neceSSARY for BRAIN TB treatMENT.. It depends on the severity, location, and response to medication.. DOCTORS may recommend surGERY to drain fluid buildup, remove a damaged portion, or relieve pressure.. However, medication is the first line of defense and often effective.. SURGERY carries risks and should be done only when required.. Always follow the doctor's adVICE and take medication as preSCRIBED..

Hello, This is Edu, I am 30 years. I injured my head even my face has seams like fat. When it started with my head my hair roots were very injured now continuing to half part of my face.

Female | 30

The fat-like stitches you are telling me about could be swollen tissue from the injury. The head injury side effects like irritated hair roots and swelling are the symptoms that would show up after a head injury. At the point of not seeking help for yourself, you put yourself at a higher risk. A doctor can diagnose the problem and pick the best remediation method for you which can be medication, wound care, or surgery.

Sir, our patient was told by the Drs on the eve of the feast. He suffered a cerebral hemorrhage due to sudden high blood pressure. He was operated on and a drain was inserted. He was intubated for the first 3 days, and reintubated 4 days later. It was informed that our patient reacted to pain but could not wake up because he was unconscious. We watched him react to some reactions, but his doctors say that these reactions are meaningless, for example, when I tickled the bottom of our patient's right foot, I saw that his right toes made small movements and I saw him open his eyes. and I looked from left to right with eye movements and I saw tears flowing from my left eye, I couldn't see this feeling in the left foot. When we wet it with cotton, I saw mouth and lip movements move, I saw movements that were disturbed by thirst, but there was no speech, but the first 10 legs of his body were very swollen and cold. In the last week, keep the body on fire, from the feet to the head, the body temperature is very high. Our patient was operated on the 14th day. Drainage has changed Dear teacher, we need you about the general condition of our patient, can you get back to us, can we share our patient's information?

Erkek | 75

I would suggest to consult with the patient's doctors and nurses directly involved in their care for accurate information and updates regarding their condition and share your concerns directly with them.
