Older adults have higher rates of chronic subdural hematomas. cSDH was long considered a condition that is trivial, benign in nature and easy to treat, most likely because of the straightforwardness of its surgical procedure15,19.

About 50 to 90 percent of people who develop acute subdural hematomas die from the condition or its complications. These include: The level of complications depends on how badly the brain was injured during whatever accident caused the hematoma. Recurrence rate may be as high as 70% over time, but modern estimated reoperation rates range between 10 and 20%3,4,5,7. Carotid artery dissection plus subdural hematoma after a roller-coaster ride. Easter JS, Haukoos JS, Meehan WP, Novack V, Edlow JA.
