Intrakanial hematoma, Rupture of Blood Vessels In Brain

Intrakanial hematoma was rupture of blood vessels in the brain or between the skull and brain. Can take the accumulated blood (hematoma), the brain tissue.
Intracranial hematomas can occur because the liquid is absorbed, which is the brain capable of the power of a blow or sudden impact surrounds. In the case of collisions is too strong, the brain may use force against the inner wall of the skull is moved so that it is discolored.
Intracranial hematoma is a serious condition can be life threatening and usually requires an appropriate treatment as quickly as possible, though the head injury to see light.
In general, surgery is needed to intracranial hematoma, which wants to take a blood accumulation in the brain tissue to treat. However, do not operate to intracranial hematoma with a small size.
Cause
Head injury is the main reason for the occurrence of intracranial hemorrhage (bleeding), which is usually caused by a car or motorcycle accidents or events that are trivial, seem like terbenturnya head.
There is a greater likelihood of lead can be mild head trauma, the hematoma, if one of the elderly, especially those taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin.
Severe injury can occur even if no signs of cuts or bruises that look. In the case of head injury may hematoma, the possibility of a subdural, epidural, or intraparenchymal hematoma.
Symptom
Signs and symptoms of an intracranial hematoma can occur either immediately or up to several weeks or longer occur after a clash of heads. The pressure on the brain can be increased from time to time, and generate some or all of the following symptoms:
1. Vomit
2. Changes in pupil size3. Increased headaches4. Elevated blood pressure5. Progressive drowsiness and unconsciousness6. Dizziness7. Confusion8. Weakness in the limbs on one side of the body
The following symptoms may also in cases of more fresh blood accumulates in the brain occur:First CrampsSecond PowerlessnessThird Lethargy
Treatment
Some subdural hematomas do not need to be taken, since it is quite small and does not cause the appearance of signs or symptoms. Diuretics can also help control brain swelling (edema) after head injury.
Operation
The treatment of hematoma often requires surgery. The type of surgery can be, depending on the characteristics of the hematoma. Surgical options may include:
First CraniotomyIn the case of a large hematoma may be opening the skull (craniotomy) to remove blood.
Second Surgical drainageWhen the localized bleeding and not enough done, your doctor will probably sucked a hole through the skull and then the liquid.
Recovery
Anticonvulsants such as phenytoin (Dilantin) may be prescribed after surgery to manage or avoid the occurrence of post-traumatic seizures. These drugs will continue to be consumed during the year after the trauma.
Anxiety, attention difficulties, insomnia, headaches and memory loss occur, and again for some time. Recovery period can be prolonged and may be recovered in total.
Recovery is most likely in adults after an injury that occur within the first 6 months. Children often recover faster and better than adults.
