Middle meningeal artery aneurysm: Case report.

Clinical profile of subdural hematomas: dangerousness of subdural subacute hematoma.

Yet, their neurological deterioration which is usually rapid seems to distinguish them from chronic subdural hematomas. We wanted to show this dangerousness by establishing the clinically evolving profile of the three types of subdural hematomas.
