Abstract

Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a frequent pathological entity in daily clinical practice. The incidence is expected to double over the next 30 years, but evidence-based CSDH guidelines are lacking. Currently, surgery is the mainstay in CSDH treatment. Middle meningeal artery embolization and nonsurgical treatments have also been suggested in the management of CSDH. High-quality randomized controlled trials are currently ongoing in order to provide class I evidence on the clinical and cost-effectiveness of (non)surgical treatments.
