| Video Discription | Geoffrey Colby, MD, PhD, FAANS, and Jeremiah Johnson, MD, FAANS, explain a new treatment used to address chronic subdural hematomas. When someone has a subdural hematoma, blood collects in the space between the surface of the brain and the inner lining of the skull. As the subdural hematoma grows, it puts pressure on the brain, and can cause headaches, confusion, seizures, imbalance and more. By 2030, researchers say that chronic subdural hematomas will be one of the most common surgical conditions requiring treatment by neurosurgeons. One minimally invasive treatment technique is middle meningeal arterial (MMA) embolization. During this procedure, the doctor directs a small catheter through the arteries into the MMA blood vessel in the underlining of the skull called the dura matter. Through the catheter, the surgeon releases particles or glue to reduce MMA blood flow which prevents future bleeding and promotes healing. Watch the webinar to learn more about how UCLA Health surgeons are using this emerging surgical treatment for chronic subdural hematomas.
