Three days after discharge, she unexpectedly returned with worsening headache and alteredmentalstatus. Brain computed tomography (CT) showed increased SDH volume.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Alteredmentalstatus may be from an SDH, not ethanol. Consult a neurosurgeon as soon as the diagnosis is suspected and initiate transfer if a another facility is required for diagnosis or management. Media file 1: Acute subdural hematoma.[oncare.blogspot.com]
Gastrointestinal or Nutrition Issues Nutritional status must be closely monitored in SDH patients, especially those with alteredmentalstatus or coma. Supplemental nutrition may be required.[clinicaladvisor.com]

Twenty-four patients who underwent evacuation for acute or acute-on-chronic SDH and with epileptiformactivity on EEG were identified retrospectively.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Twenty-one patients (87%) had epileptiform discharges on EEG; 13 of them (62%) had midline epileptiform discharges and 9 of them (43%) had periodiclateralizedepileptiformdischarges (PLEDs).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Poor early outcomes were associated with the presence of bilateral (P 0.03), midline (P 0.04), and bilateral independent multifocaldischarges (P 0.09) on EEG. The EEG findings in this group of patients were complex.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
