Background: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is the anomalous and encapsulated accumulation of fluid of complex origin consisting of old blood, mostly or totally liquified and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the subdural space usually after a head injury in the elderly. Almost all the research on surgical techniques and endoscopic assisted evacuation of CSDH focused on the just the evacuation and not abnormal anatomical structures that causes recurrences.

Objectives: We investigated abnormal anatomical structures that triggers recurrence of CSDH during craniotomy as well as burr-hole craniostomy with endoscopic assistance.

Background: Isolated chronic subdural hematoma (ICSH), as a special rare species, has great controversy over its treatment. A retrospective analysis was performed to compare craniotomy with endoscopic-assisted trepanation drainage (EATD) of ICSH.

Methods: The data of ICSH patients for craniotomy or EATD from January 2011 to April 2019 were retrospectively collected and analysed.
