description | Introduction: Microscopic study of the organization of the
Subdural Haemorrhage (SDH) verified against the time period
can help us in the determination of its age which has serious
medico-legal implications. Very few studies concerning the
dating of SDH are present in the literature.
Aim: This study was conducted for dating the early subdural
haemorrhage by routine histopathological stains.
Materials and Methods: A prospective analytical study was
conducted during July 2009 to December 2010. A total of
100 cases (50 males and 50 females) fulfilling the inclusion
and exclusion criteria were included in this study. Routine
histopathological staining of the subdural haematoma was
done.
Results: Correlation between the frequency of a given
histomorphological phenomenon and the length of
the Post-Traumatic Interval (PTI) was evidential. All the
histomorphological features, when correlated with PTI
groups, were found to be statistically significant, except for
Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes (PMN).
Conclusion: We concluded that routine histopathology was
reliable in the dating of early subdural haemorrhages. |
