There was no significant difference in the oncotic pressure of fluid from subdural hematomas and venous blood; however, the oncotic pressure of fluid from subdural hygromas was significantly less than that of blood. This finding fails to support the Zollinger and Gross modification of Gardner's that chronic subdural hematomas grow and produce symptoms after a latent interval because they attract fluid from the blood via dural vessels ((Weir B. Oncotic pressure of subdural fluids. J Neurosurg. 1980 Oct;53(4):512-5. PubMed PMID: 7420173. )) oncotic_pressure.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:49by 127.0.0.1
