Abstract

The study was undertaken to asses the changes in the size and densities of intracranial hematomas by analyzingthe sequential CT examination of 23 patients ar Soon Chun Hyang College Hospital from July '80 to Aug. '81. Theresuls were as follows; 1. The high densities of hematoma were the cause of hematoma, hematoma locaiton, age andsex of patients, and initial hematoma size. 3. The CT findings that indicate complete absorption of hematomas werenormalization of mass effect, not diappearence of hematoma densities. 4. In intracerebral hematoma, the highdensity of hematoma reduced it's density and mass effect about 4-6 weeks duration. 5. In subdural hematoma, about7 weeks after head trauma, the CT findings were normalized.
