Abstract:
Complications after surgery for chronic subdural hematoma (SDH) include recurrence of the hematoma, tension pneumoencephalus and intracerebral hematoma. We report an unusual case of development bilateral of acute subdural hematoma after drainage of chronic subdural hematoma in a 48-year-old woman. Pathophysiological mechanisms of this uncommon entity are discussed and relevant literature is reviewed.
