[The possibility and mechanism of spontaneous redistribution of acute intracranial subdural hematomas].

The author has undertaken the systematic search for the description of isolated and serial cases of spontaneous redistribution of acute intracranial subdural hematomas with their mandatory computed and magneto-resonance neurovisualization. Based on the results of the search and metaanalysis of statistical data, it is concluded that acute intracranial subdural are likely to undergo any possible dislocation over the surface of the large hemispheres of the brain as well as downward transtentorial and spinal migration. The non-linear regression analysis allowed to determine the spinal migration rate of acute intracranial subdural hematomas. At the same time, the analysis gave no evidence of the possibility of the upward transtentorial redistribution of acute intracranial subdural hematomas across the falx of the cerebrum. It is concluded that the results of the present study can be used for the porpose of practical forensic medical expertise and the identification of the sources of spontaneous redistribution of acute intracranial subdural hematomas.
