Left Sided Subdural Hematoma with Surgical Craniotomy Procedure - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This exhibit begins with one lateral (side) silhouette view of the head revealing a lateral view of the brain. This image provides an overall orientation to the large hematoma allowing us to see the full extent and size of this large area of hemorrhage. Also, one cross sectional view of the head based specifically on a CT scan images is included. This view reveals the thickness of the hematoma and the associated compression of the left side of the brain and ventricles with shift of these structures to the right and the corresponding pressure put on the right side of the brain as it shifted right and pressed against the skull.
