Abstract

This paper concerns 106 consecutive subdural haematomas in adults, 94 of whom were chronic and 12 subacute. Among these, 78 subdural haematomas were operated upon according to a new protocol--two burr holes, irrigation and closed drainage of the haematoma for 48 hours in the supine position. The others were treated by decompressive craniectomy according to the clinical judgement of the surgeon. The results are presented.
