Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of chronic subdural hematoma usually develop in the sixth and seventh decade of life.[1][2]
- In acute subdural hematoma, the symptoms of SDH typically develop 24 hours after head injury.
- In subacute subdural hematoma, the symptoms os SDH typically develop between 1 to 10 days after head trauma.
- In chronic subdural hematoma, the symptoms of SDH typically develop weeks or months after head trauma
- If left untreated, 14% of patients with subdural hematoma may progress to serious complications including death.
Complications
Common complications of subdural hematoma include:
- Memory loss
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Anxiety
- Difficulty concentrating
- Seizures
- Temporary or permanent weakness
- Numbness
- Difficulty speaking
- Brain herniation
- Coma
- Death
Prognosis
- Acute subdural hematoma prognosis is generally poor, and the case mortality rate of traumatic subdural hematoma is approximately 14%.
- Acute subdural hematomas has high rates of death and injury.
- Depending on the extent, type, and locationat of hematoma at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary.
- However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor in acute subdural hematoma and good in chronic subdural hematoma.
- Subacute and chronic subdural hematomas have better outcomes in most cases, with symptoms often going away after the blood collection is drained.
- There is a high frequency of seizures following a subdural hematoma, even after drainage.
- These seizures are usually well controlled with medication.
- Seizures may occur at the time the hematoma forms, or up to months or years afterward.
- A period of rehabilitation is sometimes needed to assist the person back to his or her usual level of functioning.
