Article Synopsis
- A chronic subdural haematoma (cSDH) is an increasingly common condition in older adults, characterized by a collection of fluid and blood in the subdural space, with no existing guidelines for optimal care from symptom onset to recovery.
- This paper outlines the creation of consensus-based recommendations for the management of cSDH, developed by a multidisciplinary committee that included healthcare professionals, patients, and caregivers.
- The final guideline features 67 recommendations spread across eight themes, addressing key aspects such as diagnosis, surgical procedures, non-operative management, and post-operative care despite a general lack of high-quality evidence in the literature.
Purpose: Surgical resection with bony margins would be the treatment of choice for tumours with osseous involvement such as meningiomas and metastasis. By developing and designing pre-operative customised 3D modelled implants, the patient can undergo resection of meningioma and repair of bone defect in the same operation. We present a generalisable method for designing pre-operative cranioplasty in patients to repair the bone defect after the resection of tumours.

Cranioplasty following traumatic brain injury (TBI) or stroke is becoming increasingly common, leading to an ever-growing clinical and research interest, especially regarding the optimal material, cost-effectiveness, and timing of cranioplasty concerning neurological recovery and complications. Consequently, heterogeneous reporting of outcomes from such diverse studies has led to limited meta-analysis ability and an ongoing risk of outcome reporting bias.
