DOI: 10.1007/s00701-017-3095-2
Abstract: BackgroundChronic subdural haematoma (CSDH) is a common condition that is effectively managed by burrhole drainage but requires repeat surgery in a significant minority of patients. The Cambridge Chronic Subdural Haematoma Trial (CCSHT) was a randomised… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00701-017-3309-7
Abstract: BackgroundChronic subdural haematoma is a common but retractable neurological disease in the elderly with a high rate of recurrence. Dexamethasone (DX) either as monotherapy or adjuvant therapy has been applied clinically, but its effectiveness and… read more here.

S-100β in chronic subdural haematoma: Prospective cohort study

DOI: 10.1016/j.jocn.2019.05.058
Abstract: Chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH) is invariably classified as 'neurotrauma'. However, whilst a history of trauma/fall is frequent, it is usually distant, mild or even absent. Serum S-100β > 1.38 μg/L is associated with a 100% specificity for mortality/poor… read more here.

When hoofbeats mean zebras not horses: Tumour mimics of subdural haematoma – Case series and literature review
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Clinical Neuroscience"
DOI: 10.1016/j.jocn.2019.06.035
Abstract: Chronic subdural haematomas are common neurosurgical conditions, especially in the elderly patients, with straightforward surgical treatments. However, infrequently, tumours are misdiagnosed as subdural haematoma on initial brain CT scans and are only discovered intraoperatively. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2021.03.029
Abstract: BACKGROUND The current treatment options of chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH) include burr hole drainage (BHD), twist drill drainage (TD) and craniotomy with or without post-operative catheter drainage. Though generally effective, these treatments continue to be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02688697.2021.2024508
Abstract: Abstract Introduction A chronic subdural haematoma (cSDH) is a collection of altered blood products between the dura and brain resulting in a slowly evolving neurological deficit. It is increasingly common and, in high income countries,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02688697.2022.2122402
Abstract: BACKGROUND An estimated 40% of all traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs in ≥70-year-olds with a high prevalence of traumatic subdural haematoma (tSDH). It is anticipated that an expanding elderly population will lead to a proportional… read more here.

DOI: 10.1089/neu.2020.7574
Abstract: Chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH) is a common neurosurgical pathology, yet conflicting opinions exist concerning the pathophysiological processes involved. Many consider CSDH a product of an aged acute subdural haematoma (ASDH) secondary to trauma. However, serial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/anae.15583
Abstract: Epidemiological studies project a significant rise in cases of chronic subdural haematoma over the next 20 years. Patients with this condition are frequently older and medically complex, with baseline characteristics that may increase peri‐operative risk. The… read more here.
