Epidural hematomas (EDH), typically requiring surgery, may be managed conservatively in select patients. We investigated atorvastatin (10 mg/day) combined with dexamethasone (2.25 mg/day) as conservative therapy in six EDH patients (GCS ≥ 13, volume < 30 ml) post-trauma. All patients recovered fully without surgery, and literatures support conservative care for stable EDH. Our findings suggest this combination therapy may promote hematoma absorption. In conclusion, atorvastatin/dexamethasone shows promise as a non-surgical EDH option, warranting further investigation.
硬膜外血肿(EDH)通常需要手术治疗,但在某些特定患者中也可采用保守治疗。我们对6例创伤后硬膜外血肿患者(格拉斯哥昏迷评分≥13分,血肿体积<30 ml)进行了研究,采用阿托伐他汀(10毫克/天)联合地塞米松(2.25毫克/天)作为保守治疗方法。所有患者均未接受手术而完全康复,并且有文献支持对稳定型硬膜外血肿进行保守治疗。我们的研究结果表明,这种联合治疗可能会促进血肿吸收。总之,阿托伐他汀/地塞米松作为硬膜外血肿的非手术治疗选择显示出前景,值得进一步研究。
