HSE Complications
Seizures are common and some authors recommend prophylactic anti-seizure therapy in patients with severe HSE. Brain edema that occurs sometimes can be resolved with steroid therapy, although the use of steroids in the HSE is still a controversy. Adjunct therapy for brain edema include hyperventilation and barbiturates. Other complications that looks similar to all patients and patients with severe pain severe consciousness disturbance (eg, aspiration pneumonia, venous thrombosis profundus, and decubitus.)
