Chronic subdural hematoma is a frequent disorder in the elderly. Although intensively investigated, numerous aspects, including the pathophysiology of clinical symptoms, remain unclear. Perfusion deficits are likely to induce the transient neurologic symptoms seen in chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH). The aim of the present study was to quantify cerebral perfusion impairment in cSDH. Before surgery, [...]
