Abstract | Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is one of the most common neurosurgical disorders. However, no study has yet documented biomarkers indicating increased CSDH pressure. This study aimed to explore such indicators. A total of 50 patients underwent measurement for CSDH pressure during burr-hole irrigation. The mean hematoma pressure was 16.8 ± 7.6 cmH2O with no significant difference between new-onset and recurrent CSDHs. In 12 patients with a CSDH pressure ≥25 cmH2O, further analyses were carried out. Eight of them had bilateral CSDHs. All six patients with a CSDH pressure ≥28 cmH2O suffered headaches before surgery. Two out of three patients with a CSDH pressure ≥29 cmH2O felt nauseous. In statistical analyses, headache was positively correlated with a high CSDH pressure, whereas age and hematoma thickness were negatively correlated with it. Patients' sex, initial Glasgow coma scale score, motor weakness, midline shift on computed tomography scans, and administration of anticoagulants/antiplatelet agents, showed no significant correlation. When patients with bilateral CSDHs are not older adults and suffering headaches, an increased CSDH pressure should be assumed. For such patients, a prompt hematoma evacuation is indicated. |
