Abstract

Objective

To explore the feasibility of color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) in detecting the middle meningeal artery (MMA) and evaluate the clinical application of this method in chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH).

Methods

This study collected clinical data from 100 patients with CSDH who were admitted to our hospital between January 2023 and March 2024. Among these patients, 87 underwent drilling and drainage surgery. Postoperative follow-up categorized patients into a recurrence group and a nonrecurrence group. Additionally, 80 healthy volunteers and 60 patients with acute subdural hematoma were selected as the control group. Using CDUS technology, the MMA was assessed through the infratemporal fossa in the half-mouth position to obtain peak systolic flow velocity (PSV), end diastolic flow velocity, and resistance index (RI). Comparisons were conducted between the study group and the control group, as well as between the recurrence and nonrecurrence groups to evaluate hemodynamic differences. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to identify risk factors for postoperative recurrence in patients with CSDH. Receiver operating characteristic curves were generated to assess the sensitivity and specificity of MMA hemodynamic parameters in predicting postoperative recurrence of CSDH.

Results

The MMA visualization rates for the CSDH group, healthy volunteer group, and acute subdural hematoma group were 84.43% (103/122), 85.00% (136/160), and 83.33% (70/84), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that bilateral hematoma, increased PSV, and decreased RI were independent risk factors for the recurrence of CSDH following drilling and drainage (P < 0.05). The maximum Youden index was achieved when the PSV predictive value was 30.85 cm/s and the RI predictive value was 0.78.

Conclusions

Utilizing CDUS in a half-open mouth position is a feasible method for evaluating extracranial MMA. Monitoring hemodynamic changes in the MMA of patients with CSDH postsurgery holds significant value in indicating the potential for postoperative recurrence.

期刊介绍： World Neurosurgery has an open access mirror journal World Neurosurgery: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. The journal''s mission is to: -To provide a first-class international forum and a 2-way conduit for dialogue that is relevant to neurosurgeons and providers who care for neurosurgery patients. The categories of the exchanged information include clinical and basic science, as well as global information that provide social, political, educational, economic, cultural or societal insights and knowledge that are of significance and relevance to worldwide neurosurgery patient care. -To act as a primary intellectual catalyst for the stimulation of creativity, the creation of new knowledge, and the enhancement of quality neurosurgical care worldwide. -To provide a forum for communication that enriches the lives of all neurosurgeons and their colleagues; and, in so doing, enriches the lives of their patients. Topics to be addressed in World Neurosurgery include: EDUCATION, ECONOMICS, RESEARCH, POLITICS, HISTORY, CULTURE, CLINICAL SCIENCE, LABORATORY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES, CLINICAL IMAGES, VIDEOS
