摘要: Epidural hematomas (EDHs) account for 10% of fatal injuries in patients with head trauma. Up to 35% suffering EDHs develop secondary brain injury within days after the initial Secondary can profoundly affect a patient's subsequent neurologic recovery and functional status. This case study presents patient who developed an EDH following severe trauma signs symptoms injury; intravascular temperature modulation was used treat prolonged period 13 days. The showed complete return work 6 months her injury.
