摘要：

BACKGROUND Brain stiffness has been thought to be a factor affecting brain re-expansion after the evacuation of chronic subdural hematoma. METHODS As an index of brain stiffness, the pressure for compressing the brain using an ophthalmodynamometer was defined as brain-surface elastance. This elastance in 14 patients was measured and analyzed in relation to brain re-expansion. RESULTS Patients with an enlarged subdural space on computed tomography 1 month after the operation had higher elastance. There was a correlation between high elastance and high age. CONCLUSIONS Measuring the elastance after evacuation of the hematoma may help predict the persistence of a subdural space.
