    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Geriatric Medicine

    Background:

    • Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a common neurosurgical condition, particularly in the elderly.
    • Accurate diagnosis and timely intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes in CSDH patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review diagnostic errors in chronic subdural hematoma patients over 60.
    • To emphasize the primary treatment strategy for CSDH in this demographic.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 20 patients aged over 60 with chronic subdural hematoma.
    • Analysis of factors contributing to diagnostic errors.
    • Evaluation of treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Diagnostic errors were identified as a significant issue in the studied population.
    • Burr-hole aspiration was effective in treating chronic subdural hematoma.
    • Adequate measures for brain reexpansion are vital post-aspiration.

    Conclusions:

    • Minimizing diagnostic errors is essential for improving CSDH management in older adults.
    • Burr-hole aspiration, coupled with supportive measures, remains the gold standard treatment for CSDH.
