Chronic subdural hematoma (CSH) is a common neurosurgical pathology that is recognized as a consequence of minor head injuries that are usually diagnosed in senile patients, although it can occur in young patients without a history of trauma. The objective of this work is the presentation of a patient with a bilateral CSH, with unusual characteristics.

Clinical presentation may vary from no symptoms to unconsciousness. CSDH is usually diagnosed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan.

Acute Subdural Hematoma in Chronic Stage Compared with Chronic Subdural Hematoma
Among 126 cases of chronic subdural hematoma, 6 cases (4.8%) were diagnosed as acute subdural hematoma in chronic stage. They were 3 males and 3 femals whose age ranged from 46 to 79 years (average 62.8 years). All of them received major trauma to the head, but surgical treatment was not necessary until a mean period of 22.7 days, ranging from 17 to 30

History of Chronic Subdural Hematoma [PDF]
Trephination or trepanation is an intentional surgical procedure performed from the Stone Age. It looks like escaping a black evil from the head. This technique is still used for treatment of chronic subdural hematoma (SDH). Now, we know the origin, pathogenesis and natural history of this lesion.

Trial of Dexamethasone for Chronic Subdural Hematoma [PDF]
Chronic subdural hematoma is a common neurological disorder mainly affecting older people.1 It consists of a collection of blood and blood breakdown products in the intracranial subdural space that liquefies over time; the inciting event often is minor head trauma; subsequent inflammation may play a role in the pathogenesis.2 The time of onset of ...

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Abstract Objective Neuromodulation for pediatric refractory epilepsy (PRE) is preferred when the seizure onset zone is not amenable to surgical resection, due to multifocal onset or involvement of eloquent cortex. Given its rapidly evolving landscape, we describe our institutional experience with neurostimulation therapies including deep brain ...
