  • Chronic subdural haematoma (cSDH), one of the most common neurosurgical entities, occurs typically in elderly patients. (unibas.ch)
  • However, it seems that there are no clear clinical or radiological signs indicating whether the cSDH will resolve spontaneously or not (type C recommendation). (unibas.ch)
