Identification of middle meningeal artery confluence point in 3D CT scan images of Filipinos as pre-operative planning for management of chronic subdural hematoma: A cross-sectional morphometric study

Key Points

• Localized the middle meningeal artery for effective burr-hole placement in chronic subdural hematoma management.
• Findings indicate that landmark-based techniques can guide surgery and reduce recurrence, offering a practical resource-adapted approach.
• Cross-sectional morphometric analysis reveals essential anatomical features necessary for pre-operative planning.
• Implications highlight the utility of low-cost methods in surgical settings where more advanced techniques are unavailable.
