Objective Chronic subdural hematoma is a common and relatively benign disease. However, recurrence is common after surgical treatment, and the recurrence rate varies from 5% to 33%. The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive factors for recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma. Methods We analyzed data from 248 patients with chronic subdural hematoma who were treated by burr-hole ...

Chronic subdural hematoma of the posterior fossa is an uncommon entity, and spontaneous lesions are very rarely described, occurring mostly during anticoagulation therapy. The association of the posterior fossa chronic subdural hematoma with spontaneous parenchymal hemorrhage without anticoagulation therapy was never related in the literature, to our knowledge. We describe a case of a 64 year-o...

Burr-hole craniostomy with closed-system drainage is a safe and effective method for the management of chronic subdural hematoma. However, contralateral acute subdural hematoma has been reported to be a rare and devastating complication. Only 3 cases have been described in the literature. Herein, we reported an 80-year-old male with chronic subdural hematoma and contralateral subdural hygroma. ...

Chronic subdural hematoma manifests differently and may mimic the presentation of psychiatric illnesses. Many a time, physicians are quick to judge that new onset of psychiatric symptoms is due to the worsening of the existing psychiatric illness.

Subdural hematoma is a collection of blood and degradation products in the intracranial subdural space that liquefies over time. The objective this work to highlight prognostic factors patients with chronic hematomas (cSDH).

Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a relatively frequent problem in neurologic or neurosurgical practice [1]. The potential for recovery from the evacuation of a CSDH is relatively high. However, some postoperative complications may affect the postoperative course [2]. In this study, we report a rare complication of contralateral acute hematoma following the evacuation of a CSDH with burr-hole...

Subdural hematoma (SDH) is a rare complication of immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) the incidence being around 2%. Although SDH usually occurs secondary to trauma, in bleeding disorders it may occur spontaneously. Here we report subdural hematoma in two uncommon settings, one patient with systemic sclerosis developing secondary ITP and consequently subdural hematoma and the other patient wi...

The incidence of subdural hematoma is approximately 13.1/100.000 per year. Subdural hematoma due to skull and dura mater metastases is rare. In this study, a 71-year-old patient with prostate adenocarcinoma who presented with chronic subdural hematoma due to skull bone and dura mater metastasis is presented.

A male infant aged nine months with meningeal irritation and +3.5SD expansion of the circumference of the head was admitted. Brain computed tomography (CT) detected right chronic subdural hematoma and contralateral subdural hygroma. Since the cell count was increased on a cerebrospinal fluid test, acute purulent meningitis was diagnosed. A rapid latex test and culture of cerebrospinal fluid ide...
