Abstract

Objective To explore the surgical indications and clinical prognostic factors of elderly patients with cerebral contusion. Method A series of clinical symptoms and imaging indexes of 40 elderly patients with cerebral contusion were retrospectively analyzed, and the influencing factors closely related to surgical indication and clinical prognosis were mainly investigated. Results The results showed that the intracranial hematoma volume, CT midline deviation or basal cistern compression at admission, and CT midline deviation or basal cistern compression aggravation during hospitalization combined with clinical symptom aggravation could better indicate the existence of surgical indications. Conclusion It is helpful for neurosurgeons to make reasonable surgical indications and clinical prognosis judgment for elderly patients with cerebral contusion.
