The results were summarized as follows 1) A number of EDH patients(17/20) with neurologically minor deficits could be successfully managed by conservative management, whereas we underwent surgical evacuation on 3 other cases with clot volume over 50cc. 2) Serial Brain CT scans on 20 patients revealed mostly two types of resolution pattern One with an intervening expansile phase preceding net resorption(5 cases; 25%), and the other without this phase(15 cases; 75%). 3) All of patients presented mild symptoms and signs(Glasgow Coma Score>13).
