Intraparenchymal haemorrhage after evacuation of chronic subdural haematoma. Report of three cases and review of the literature

Abstract

Three cases of intracerebral haemorrhage following removal of a chronic subdural haematoma are reported and the literature on this topic reviewed. The possibility of an increase in cerebral blood flow following removal of CSH, makes slow, gradual decompression mandatory in all patients submitted to cranial trapanation.
