Impact of antithrombotic therapy on acute and delayed intracranial haemorrhage and evaluation of the need of short-term hospitalisation based on CT findings after mild traumatic brain injury: experience from an oral and maxillofacial surgery unit

ConclusionAccording to our experience, antithrombotic therapy does not increase the rate of ICH after mTBI. A GCS of  <  15, loss of consciousness, amnesia, headache, dizziness, and nausea are indicators of higher ICH risk. A second CT scan is more effective in patients with secondary neurological deterioration. Initial CT findings were not clinically relevant and should not indicate in-hospital observation.
