Abstract
- After evacuation of a chronic subdural hematoma, the expansion of compressed brain is usually delayed or untoward and that may be a grave prognostic sign. Recently we have experienced a case of chronic subdural hematoma to treat. Removal of large hematoma, obliteration of large clot cavity and restoration of brain position, are achieved without resorting to drainage maneuvers or to undue lengthening of the procedure. Following this procedure, the patient revealed an uneventful postoperative course whithout any neurologic deficit.
