OBJECTIVE: Some studies demonstrated the role of @entity230 in medical management of @entity6087 ( @entity6087 ). Aim of our study is to evaluate the role of @entity230 in medical treatment of @entity6087 and to evaluate the subgroup of @entity1 who respond to @entity230 . METHODS: This prospective case study was done for 26 months from April 2013 to May 2015. On admission, the parenteral steroid @entity619 (4 mg) was given every 8 hours for 72 hours. If the @entity1 improved, the oral tapering doses of @entity230 were continued for 1 month. Neurological assessment and computed tomography scan done after 6 weeks. If the @entity1 had not improved at 72 hours, a standard burr hole and evacuation was done. RESULTS: Twenty-six consecutive @entity1 were studied (20 @entity1 ; mean age, 60.25 years). The average thickness of the @entity1410 was 21.9 mm, the mean midline shift was 10.3 mm, and the average attenuation value of bleed on computed tomography scan was 35.7. Eleven @entity1 were treated successfully with @entity479 treatment, whereas 15 @entity1 required surgery. The female gender, less midline shift, less density (Hounsfield units) were noted to be associated with successful medical treatment. We propose a grading based on the total score given to the midline shift and density. Complications noted were @entity4854 (1 @entity1 ), @entity3621 (1), and recurrence (1 @entity1 ). There was no mortality. CONCLUSIONS: @entity230 appear to play a role in the nonsurgical medical treatment of @entity6087 . @entity1 with lower grades of @entity6087 can be treated successfully with @entity230 . Female @entity1 seem to do better with @entity230 .
