Abstract

<p>The treatment of acute epidural haematoma is surgery as soon as possible, elimination of the source of bleeding and evacuation of the haematoma. In case of small epidural haematoma, strict neurological and radiological follow-up is necessary. In a significant percentage of cases, open surgery must also be performed within a few days. In case of small epidural haematomas, embolization of the middle meningeal artery is considered as an alternative solution. We review the literature on middle meningeal artery embolization and present our first treatment. Our case report is the first European report about an acute epidural haematoma which was treated by embolization of middle meningeal artery. Our case study is the first report in which a patient was treated with both open surgery and endovascular treatment for acute epidural haematoma within a year.</p>.

<p>Az akut epiduralis haematoma kezel&eacute;se a min&eacute;l kor&aacute;bbi műt&eacute;t, a v&eacute;rz&eacute;sforr&aacute;s megsz&uuml;ntet&eacute;se &eacute;s a haematoma evaku&aacute;l&aacute;sa. Kis epiduralis v&eacute;rz&eacute;s eset&eacute;n szigor&uacute; neurol&oacute;giai &eacute;s radiol&oacute;giai k&ouml;vet&eacute;s sz&uuml;ks&eacute;ges. Az esetek jelentős sz&aacute;zal&eacute;k&aacute;ban ilyenkor is nyílt műt&eacute;tet kell v&eacute;gezni n&eacute;h&aacute;ny napon bel&uuml;l. Kis epiduralis v&eacute;rz&eacute;sek eset&eacute;n alternatív megold&aacute;sk&eacute;nt sz&oacute;ba j&ouml;n az arteria meningea media embolisati&oacute;ja. Az arteria meningea media embolisatio irodalm&aacute;t tekintj&uuml;k &aacute;t, &eacute;s bemutatjuk az első ilyen jellegű kezel&eacute;s&uuml;nket. Esetismertet&eacute;s&uuml;nk az első eur&oacute;pai tanulm&aacute;ny, mely sor&aacute;n az akut epiduralis haematoma kezel&eacute;se arteria meningea media embolisati&oacute;ja &aacute;ltal val&oacute;sult meg. Eset&uuml;nk az első olyan k&ouml;zlem&eacute;ny, ami arr&oacute;l sz&aacute;mol be, hogy egy beteget egy &eacute;ven bel&uuml;l akut epiduralis v&eacute;rz&eacute;s miatt mind nyílt műt&eacute;ttel, mind endovascularis m&oacute;don kezeltek.&nbsp;</p>.
