Presentation of traumatic intracranial hematoma

A traumatic intracranial hematoma is usually caused by an external force that ruptures an intracranial blood vessel, resulting in bleeding and subsequent formation of a hematoma. It usually manifests as headache, nausea, vomiting, optic nerve papillary edema, cranial hypertension, and focal neurological impairment such as hemiparesis, aphasia, seizures, and traumatic mental disorder in patients with mild craniocerebral injury. The prognosis is poorer and the symptoms are more severe in those with more bleeding, resulting in a sharp increase in intracranial pressure, dilated pupils and brain herniation formation in patients, which usually require surgical treatment, including craniotomy and simple borehole drainage surgery.
