ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To discuss the clinical features of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) in different age groups.@*METHOD@#A total of 417 patients with CSDH were divided into 3 groups 0 to 39, 40 to 59 and elder than 60 years. We analyzed the clinical features in different groups, including sex, trauma history, potential hemorrhage factors, trauma to symptoms interval, encephalatrophy, onset symptom and hematoma volume.@*RESULTS@#The incidence of trauma, potential hemorrhage factors, encephalatrophy, consciousness disorders and paralysis increased with age, while the incidence of intracranial hypertension symptoms and seizures decreased with age (P<0.001). The trauma to symptom interval in the group elder than 60 was longer than in other groups (P<0.05) and the hematoma volume increased with age(P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The clinical features of CSDH including onset symptoms, trauma history, potential hemorrhage factors, encephalatrophy, trauma to symptoms interval and hematoma volume vary in different age groups.
