  • Title: [Early and late results of the surgical treatment of chronic subdural hematoma].
    Author: Kotwica Z, Brzeziński J.
    Journal: Neurol Neurochir Pol; 1987; 21(4-5):376-80. PubMed ID: 3444508.
    Abstract:
    The authors compare the surgical results in 90 patients with chronic subdural haematomas. 61 of them were treated by burr-holes and 29 by craniotomy with capsulectomy. Postoperative mortality was much higher in the second group-20.5%, compared with the first group-1.6%. In follow-up the authors found a high number of epileptic fits in patients treated by burr-holes, while none of the patients treated by craniotomy with capsulectomy suffered from epilepsy.
