CASE STUDY T.K.O., a professional boxer, sustained a severe blow to his head in round 8. As he left his corner to begin the ninth round, he collapsed to the floor. He was rushed to the emergency department in an unconscious state and was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma. He was placed in a semi-Fowler's position and given a diuretic. Holes were drilled in his skull to relieve the intracranial pressure. 1. Where was the clot located? a. within a cerebral ventricle b. within the central sulcus c. under the outer layer of meninges d. within the central canal 2. Which of the following is true about the blood clot? a. It may continue to expand as water is pulled into the clot. b. It will probably dissolve on its own but generally causes blindness. c. It will stop enlarging as soon as the bleeding stops; no treatment is necessary after the bleeding stops. d. All blood clots in the brain are lethal, with or without treatment. 3. What caused the loss of consciousness? a. The blood clot was pressing on the brain and causing an elevation in intracranial pressure. b. The hematoma was producing a brain-toxic substance. c. The blood clot was blocking the formation of CSF. d. The hematoma caused a brain abscess because a clot is an excellent place for pathogens to grow.
