サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In this episode, we’re diving into subdural hematomas—an important condition where blood collects between the layers of the brain. We’ll explain what they are and the differences between acute subdural hematomas (aSDH) and chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH). You’ll learn about what causes them, who’s at risk, and how they’re treated today. For acute subdural hematomas, surgery often plays a life-saving role, especially in emergencies. But when it comes to chronic subdural hematomas, treatment has become more advanced and personalized. We’ll discuss new medical options like statins and tranexamic acid that are showing promise. Plus, we’ll introduce an exciting development—middle meningeal artery embolization (or MMAe). This minimally invasive procedure is changing how we manage chronic cases, and we’ll explore how it works, how safe it is, and why it might be better than traditional surgery for some patients. .
