Background. Traumatic delayed epidural hematoma (DEH) can be defined as insignificant or not seen on the initial CT scan performed after a trauma but seen on the subsequent CT scan as a ?massive? epidural bleeding. Case report. We presented two cases of traumatic DEH after mild head injury. Both patients were conscious and without neurological deficit on the admission. Initial CT scan did not reveal intracranial hematoma. Repeated CT scan, that was performed after neurological deterioration, revealed epidural hematoma in both cases. The patients were operated with a favorable surgical outcome. Conclusion. Traumatic DEH could occur in the patients with head injuries who were conscious on the admission with a normal initial CT scan finding. Early detection of DEH and an urgent surgical evacuation were essential for a good outcome.

Computerized Tomography (CT) -Scans  examination are the main choice modalities in patients with acute head injuries because they are able to view the entire brain tissues and accurately distinguish the nature and presence of intracranial lesions and Extracranial. This study aim to determine the characteristics of results CT-Scan head on the patient's head injury at Dr.H.Abdul Moeloek Hospital January to December Period 2018. The research is a descriptive study with a crosssectional approach. The samples in this study were all records of medical head injury patients at Dr.H.Abdul Moeloek Hospital in January – December 2018 based on the formula Slovin as many as 182 respondents. The sampling techniques in the study used purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis using univariate analysis. From 182 respondents known prevalence of the age of the patient's head injury is 16-25 years as many as 82 respondents (45.1%), male gender 119 respondents (65.4%), a mild head injury of 105 respondents (57.7%). A normal CT-Scan overview of 99 respondents (54.4%) With a valid description (subarachnoid hemorrhage) as much as 25 respondents (13.7%). Characteristics of results CT-Scan head at the head injury sufferer of most ages 16-25 years, most male gender, most dominant mild head injuries and CT-Scan results most commonly present normal results with description SAH (subarachnoid hemorrhage).

Mild head injury (MHI) represents one of the most challenging neurological pathologies occurring during athletic participation. Athletic trainers and sports medicine personnel are often faced with decisions about the severity of head injury and the timing of an athlete's return to play following MHI. Returning an athlete to competition following MHI too early can be a catastrophic mistake. This case study involves a 20-year-old collegiate football player who sustained three mild head injuries during one season. The case study demonstrates how objective measures of balance and cognition can be used when making decisions about returning an athlete to play following MHI. These measures can be used to supplement the subjective guidelines proposed by many physicians.

Objective:While the risk of developing seizures following a mild head injury has been reported and is thought to be low, the effect of mild head injury on patients with a pre-existing seizure disorder has not been reported. We present a series of cases where a strong temporal relationship between mild head injury and worsening of seizure frequency was observed.Methods:Five cases were identified and reviewed in detail. Information was derived from clinic and hospital charts with attention to the degree of injury, pre- and postinjury seizure patterns and frequency.Results:One patient has primary generalized epilepsy and four have localization related epilepsy. Prior to the head injury, three of the patients were seizure free (range: two to 24 years). The patients suffered from mild head injuries with no or transient loss of consciousness and no focal neurological deficits. In all cases, the patients experienced a worsening of seizure control within days of the injury. In one case, the patient's seizure pattern returned to baseline one year after the accident, while in the remaining four cases, the patients continue to have medically refractory seizures.Conclusion:A close temporal relationship between mild head injury and a worsening of seizure control was observed in five patients with epilepsy. Although further study is required, this observation suggests that a head injury that would be considered benign in the general population can have serious consequences such as recurrence of seizures and medical intractability in patients with epilepsy.

Abstract We report a patient who had pituitary adenoma and parasellar meningioma coincidentally, with neither irradiation nor a history of head injury. Preoperative computed tomographic (CT) scan had shown a large intrasellar mass with ringlike enhancement; in contact with this mass, another well-enhanced mass had been shown. Histopathologically, the intrasellar mass was diagnosed as chromophobic pituitary adenoma and the other mass as meningotheliomatous meningioma. We present clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings and discuss previously reported cases of coincidental pituitary adenoma and meningioma without irradiation. This is the first case report since the advent of CT that pituitary adenoma and parasellar meningioma in contact with each other could be clearly demonstrated by CT.

Case Series Study

Objective. Recent evidence suggests that patients with a normal cranial CT scan after head injury can be safely discharged home from the emergency department. However, supporting data from previous studies has relied on incomplete patient follow-up. We utilized a statewide comprehensive hospital abstract reporting system (CHARS) to assess whether children with normal CT scans after head injury subsequently developed intracranial sequelae in the month following their initial injury. Design. Retrospective case-series study, with comprehensive statewide follow-up for 1 month. Setting. The emergency department of a Level 1 Trauma Center in Seattle, Washington. Participants. All children (n = 400) with head injury, Glasgow Coma Score of 13 to 15, and initial normal CT scan seen over a 4.5-year time period. All were matched against CHARS to evaluate admissions within 30 days after emergency department disposition. For readmissions, International Classification of Diseases (9th revision) discharge and procedure information was collected. All children were also matched against the state death files. Results. Four children were readmitted for neurologic reasons within 1 month following injury. One child on coumadin for heart disease developed a symptomatic subdural hematoma 5 days after head injury, requiring neurosurgical drainage. One child developed a symptomatic hemorrhagic contusion 3 days after injury, requiring observation only. Two children were readmitted 1 day after injury for concussive symptoms; both were discharged home after observation only. There were no deaths among the study population. Conclusions. Among children with a normal cranial CT scan after mild head injury, delayed intracranial sequelae requiring intervention are extremely uncommon. In otherwise stable patients, a normal cranial CT scan can identify patients to be safely discharged from the emergency department, and would be more cost-effective than 1 to 2 days of hospital observation.
