Spontaneous Resolution of Sub-Acute Subdural Haematoma

Abstract

As per Guidelines for surgical management of Traumatic Brain Injury by Brain Trauma Foundation & The Congress of Neurological surgeons, surgery is indicated in Acute subdural haematoma if CT scan shows midline shift > 5 mm, or haematoma thickness > 10 mm regardless of patient's Glasgow coma scale score. However, nothing specified separately for sub-acute subdural haematoma. Mostly same criteria are being followed for selecting patients for surgery in sub-acute and chronic subdural haematoma. Such patient of sub-acute subdural haematoma, whose CT scan head shows midline shift > 5 mm, or haematoma thickness > 10 mm, presented here kept on clinico-radiological assessment showed complete resolution.
