An estimated 5.3 million Americans are living with a disability from traumatic brain injury (TBI). There is emerging evidence of the detrimental effects repeated mild TBIs (rmTBIs). rmTBI manifests its own unique set behavioral and neuropathological changes. A subset individuals exposed to develop permanent pathological consequences, defined postmortem as chronic encephalopathy. We have combined components two classic rodent models TBI, controlled cortical impact model weight drop model,...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Postoperative seizures are a common complication after surgical drainage of nonacute chronic subdural hematomas (SDHs). The literature increasingly supports the use prophylactic antiepileptic drugs for craniotomy, procedure that is often associated with larger collections and worse clinical status at admission. This study aimed to compare incidence postoperative in patients treated burr-hole those craniotomy through propensity score matching (PSM). METHODS: A...
Objective Post‐operative seizures can occur in 2.6% to 23% of patients with chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH). Hematoma size, midline shift, worse clinical status at admission, and craniotomy membranectomy have been described as risk factors for its development; however, the impact middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAe) remains unexplored. This retrospective study aims determine post‐operative seizure rates cSDH treated MMAe compare them those undergoing burr hole evacuation. Methods A...
