Published: November 2001

There are various methods to treat chronic subdural hematomas in adults. "Open craniotomy" (craniotomy-membranectomy, burr-hole craniotomy) and "closed craniotomy" (twist-drill craniotomy, subdural tapping) are the most frequent technics, but endoscopy and shunts are also possible. No difference in results can be identified from a review of the literature. Different factors of recurrence are analysed.

Middle meningeal artery embolization(MMAE) is an effective treatment for chronic subdural hematoma(CSDH). Retrospective analyses have indicated that MMAE for CSDH is not only minimally invasive but also highly safe, and is associated with a significantly lower recurrence rate than that of conventional treatments. However, there is no consensus regarding treatment strategies, including the patient-selection criteria, embolic materials, and procedural techniques.

Chronic subdural haematoma (cSDH) is a common subtype of traumatic brain injury, typically affecting older people living with frailty and multimorbidity. Until now, no published guideline has existed internationally to guide management, perhaps explaining why the care of the older cSDH patient varies between neurosurgical centres. The Improving Care in Elderly Neurosurgery Initiative guideline is the first guideline dedicated to the care of patients with cSDH across the entire patient pathway, from initial presentation through to rehabilitation and discharge after surgery.

Chronic subdural hematoma is a common condition in neurosurgical practice. It is usually treated by burr-hole surgery. Patients with coagulopathies such as antiphospholipid syndrome, are at increased risk of complications, and careful consideration of the patient's specific risk of both bleeding and thromboembolic complications must guide medical management.

Background: The periprocedural management of antithrombotic medications in patients with chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) after middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) or surgical evacuation is uncertain.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted across Medline, Embase, and Web of Science databases. We pooled proportions and risk ratios (RRs) for the meta-analysis with the corresponding 95% CIs.
