Burr Hole Ultrasound Study
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Chronic Subdural Hematoma
- Interventions
- Diagnostic Test: Trans-burr hole ultrasound
- Registration Number
- NCT06134206
- Lead Sponsor
- Kepler University Hospital
- Brief Summary
Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is commonly managed through burr hole evacuation. This study evaluates the feasibility of trans burr hole sonography as an alternative postoperative imaging modality.
A pilot study on 20 patients who underwent burr hole surgery for CSDH was therefore planned. Postoperative imaging included both CT and sonographic examinations through the burr hole. We assessed the ability to measure residual subdural fluid thickness sonographically compared to CT.
