Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcome of single burr-hole evacuation in chronic subdural hematoma(CDHs).

Materials and Methods: A total of 67consecutive cases who underwent single-burr hole drainage for CSDH were included in this study. We analyzed patients with CSDH admitted at PNS SHIFA Hospital from 31st Dec 2013 to 1st Nov 2014. Single burr-hole evacuation was done in all cases. Age, sex, clinical feature, etiology, clinical outcome, and recurrence were reviewed.

Results: There were 45 (67.16%) male patients, 22(32.83%) female patients. The age range was 30-82 years. The principal presentation was with headache (60%) followed by hemi-paresis (35.8%) and cognitive disturbances (19.4%). Most patients were admitted with history of trauma (60 cases, 89.55%). Recurrence was observed in only 4 cases.

Conclusion: Chronic subdural hematoma is a common neurosurgical problem. Most of the patient presented with headache and hemi-paresis. Single burr-hole evacuation has excellent outcome with minimal complications
