Stroke presentation of chronic subdural haematoma

ABSTRACT

This work was conducted on 803 cases presented to Neurosurgery and Neurology departments as stroke; 25 cases out of these 803 cases proved by brain C.T scan or MRI to be chronic subdural haematoma with percentage of 3.1% of the cases. This percentage is still questionable as there are no previous studies that estimate the stroke presentation of chronic subdural haematoma. Statistical studies of factors affecting final outcome of chronic subdural haematoma showed significant correlation between the onset-intervention interval and the final outcome. Chronic subdural haematoma with stroke presentation only was diagnosed by radiological investigation [brain C-T. scan or MRI]
