Acute subdural hemorrhage accompanied with rupture of the inferior vena cava: a case report

摘要

One of the main causes of mortality and morbidity with physical and mental disabilities is traumatic brain injury (TBI). Apart from that, TBI also causes huge socio-economic burdens around the world. About 60% of TBI cases reported are caused by traffic accidents. Acute subdural hemorrhage (ASDH) is the main clinical finding in TBI cases. Blunt abdominal trauma associated with TBI accounts for 14% of cases. Inferior vena cava (IVC) injury is the most common vessel injured in a blunt (0.6-1%) and penetrating abdominal trauma (0.5-5%). Injury of the IVC can lead to a very high mortality rate.
