1 yr old with epidural hematoma. brain shifted to right side. craniotomy preformed removing large hematoma. linear fracture. what can we expect now?

How long ago?: If recent, healing and improvement time is essential. Most children and adults recover from epidural hematomas well. You should expect limitations on activity, be careful what the child does, close monitoring, and give it time to heal.

Recovery: Speed and quality of recovery depend on many factors. Irreversible neurological changes do happen. Your best guide is the surgeon and pediatrician who are taking care of your child. Information you have provided is insufficient to make any predictions: positive or negative. Your child needs time to recover and your care team should be well prepared to help in the process.
