Particularly, arena chronic which conventionally been managed via surgical drainage, although is shifting toward procedural intervention with embolization middle meningeal artery. This paper aims to review manifestations hematoma as a function chronicity, standardized methods measurement, identifying artery its clinically significant variant anatomy it pertains planning. Methods: A literature search using key terms titles was conducted for articles containing characteristics approaches primary focus. Results: The expected evolution over time encompasses broad array characteristics. Attempts at standardizing measurements include width, volume, midline shift. Given implication therapeutic embolization, familiarity vital mapping access, delineating possible dangerous collaterals. Conclusions: Equipped more comprehensive approach characterizing radiologist will be able curate findings greater utility clinician.
