To summarize our experience with the surgical treatment of traumatic multiple intracranial hematomas (TMIHs) and discuss the surgical indications. ⋯ Obliteration of the basal cisterns is a strong indication for surgical treatment of TMIHs. After evacuation of the major hematomas, the remaining hematomas can be treated conservatively. Most patients only require single-site surgical treatment.

Observational Study
Electroencephalography findings in patients with acute post coronary artery bypass graft encephalopathy.
To determine the EEG findings associated with acute post coronary artery bypass graft encephalopathy (aPCE), and to study the demographics and neuroimaging findings. ⋯ The EEG features such as lateralized slowing, PLEDs, and electrographic seizure were associated with acute cerebral insults. An altered level of consciousness was the most common symptomatology in our cohort, and could possibly be related to hypoxic/toxic-metabolic etiology. Electrographic seizure detected by EEG may clinically present as aPCE.
