Jeng Dini, Ini copy paste-nya, nama lainnya subdural haematoma.
Pak Anton, Maaf sekali gak bisa bantu banyak, semoga cepet sembuh ya. di website yg dikasih link oleh Kang Rahman itu sudah lengkap infonya. Sending you and your familiy the best pray....amin. Subdural haematoma Introduction There are three membranes that cover the brain and spinal chord. Together they are known as the Meninges. The space between the two outer membranes is called the subdural space. If a vein in the subdural space is torn, blood escapes into the subdural space and can cause a blood clot to form. This type of blood clot that forms between the brain and the outer membrane is called a subdural haematoma. As it gets bigger, the blood clot presses on the brain, and can cause symptoms such as headache and confusion. As a subdural haematoma increases in size, it begins to compress the brain, and causes intracranial pressure. The brain swells under the pressure of the blood clot, and is squeezed against the unyielding walls of the skull. This restricts the flow of blood to the brain, and bruises its soft tissue. A blood clot such as this is potentially life threatening, and needs urgent medical treatment to prevent brain damage or death. Subdural haematomas can develop suddenly from a head injury that causes a large amount of blood to escape rapidly from a torn vein. This type of clot is known as an acute subdural haemorrhage. Blood clots can also develop slowly after a relatively minor injury, as blood gradually accumulates in the subdural space. This type of clot is known as a chronic subdural haemorrhage, and can remain undetected for some time. Symptoms Symptoms of an acute subdural haematoma may become obvious within a few minutes of the head injury. Acute haematomas are characterised by: - confusion, - drowsiness, and - loss of consciousness The symptoms of chronic subdural haematomas are: - headache, - gradually developing confusion and drowsiness, and - visual disturbance. Both chronic and acute subdural haematomas may also include the following symptoms: - seizures, - vomiting, - progressive muscular weakness, and - paralysis on one side of the body. In both acute and chronic haematomas, symptoms are variable and likely to change. If you develop any of the above symptoms following head injury, it is important to seek medical advice immediately. Causes Subdural haematomas are caused by head injuries following a severe blow to the skull. This type of injury might be sustained in a road traffic accident, or when playing an aggressive contact sport, such as boxing. Blood clots can also develop after relatively minor injuries, and even a slight blow to the head must be closely monitored for signs of chronic subdural haematoma. This is particularly common in elderly people who may fall down more easily, and who are therefore susceptible to sustaining minor head injuries. This also applies to people who drink too much, and may fall over and hit their head as a result. Diagnosis Following a head injury, the medical staff treating you will consider how the injury was sustained and the resulting symptoms. If you are admitted to an intensive care unit, the potential development of a blood clot will be closely monitored. Your level of consciousness will be assessed, along with your ability to feel and move, and your reflexes. Your eyes, ears, blood pressure, pulse, and breathing rate will also be checked. The interior of the eye is often examined with an instrument called an ophthalmoscope to see if pressure within the brain has increased. Children who may have sustained a head injury should be closely monitored for persisting vomiting and increased drowsiness If your doctor suspects that you may have a subdural haematoma, they will arrange for you to have a CT scan, or MRI scan of your brain, to look for any damage or clotting. These scans produce detailed images of the brain. Treatment In all cases, the treatment for subdural haematomas is determined by their size and location. Many people are able to make a swift recovery, with some residual symptoms such as drowsiness and weakness. However, if the haematoma has affected a large part of the brain, then the condition may prove to be fatal. If you are found to have a subdural haematoma, you will normally be admitted to hospital for treatment. This often involves a surgical procedure in which blood is drained from the head through tiny holes made in the skull. If the subdural haematoma is small and causes few symptoms, you may simply be monitored with regular scans. Blood clots sometimes clear without the need for surgery. Blood thinning drugs may also be given. Following any sort of head injury, most hospitals will want to keep you under surveillance until the risk of a chronic haematoma forming has passed. This is particularly important for older people, who commonly develop blood clots over several weeks or months. If this type of clot is detected in time, it can normally be removed by a straightforward operation with effective results. Prevention Subdural haematomas can be prevented by avoiding severe blows to the head. It is important to wear protective clothing when taking part in contact sports such as boxing. You should also wear a helmet when cycling, and ensure children wear protective head-gear when skateboarding or roller blading. It is also imperative that you wear a seat belt at all times when driving. Older people may fall or trip more often if they have poor vision, or difficulty in walking. Installing safety rails, removing loose rugs, and ensuring there is good lighting can help to prevent this. Some elderly people may also feel safer if they avoid using stairs, to reduce the risk of tripping over. -----Original Message----- From: Rahman-G [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2008 11:19 AM To: balita-anda@balita-anda.com Subject: RE: [balita-anda] mohon informasi. http://www.idai.or.id/pi/journal/pdfile/47-4-4.pdf ...
