Overview
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- If left untreated, patients with epidural hematoma may progress to develop permanent paraplegia, loss of sensation, brain herniation, coma and death.[1][2][3][4][5]
Complications
- Common complications of epidural hematoma include:
- Brain herniation[4]
- Death[6]
- Post-traumatic seizures[7]
- Infarction of the brain tissue which may cause:
- Disturbed circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid[9]
- Urinary retention[10]
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally good in patients treated surgically without delay.
- In patients with acute epidural hematoma the surgery in an interval under two hours leads to 17% mortality rate and 67% of good recoveries but in patients who recover after an interval of more than two hours the mortality rate is 65% and good recovery rate is 13%.
- Overall mortality rate of patients with epidural hematoma is approximately 25%.
- The percentages of overall good recoveries and minimal neurologic deficit in patients with epidural hematoma is approximately 58%.
- The prognosis is worse in older patients and in patients with concomitant injuries of other body regions.
