Although the results obtained up to 0% for mortality figures and 100% for the outcome with good function, but the overall number of patient mortality with HED around 9.4% - 33%, average about 10%. In general, the motor examination before the operation, GCS score, pupil reaction, and closely associated with its outcome in patients with acute HED when they can be saved (Ullman, 2006).
