Is brain hematoma serious?

Is brain hematoma serious? Depending on the amount and location of the hematoma, smaller hematomas are located in non-functional areas of the head and are generally not severe. Medical treatment is given. The patient's condition will improve gradually after the hematoma is slowly absorbed and the edema subsides. It usually takes 2 to 3 weeks. For larger hematomas, craniotomy is usually required to remove the hematoma. The patient's recovery after surgery depends on the removal of the hematoma, the presence of rebleeding after surgery, and the occurrence of complications. If the bleeding site is located in the brain stem, the vital center of the human body, even a small amount of bleeding patients may show critical conditions, such as coma, disturbance of vital signs, or even life-threatening, brain stem hematoma has the worst prognosis.
