Summary
The proportion of the elderly population is increasing rapidly. Chronic subdural hematoma has
become the most common cause of surgery in neurosurgery for elderly patients. The standard
treatment for cSDH is mostly surgery. Clinically, we often encounter elderly patients with
certain underlying diseases or organ dysfunction, especially preexisting cardiovascular
disease or medication history like anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs, resulting in poor
surgical tolerance, high risk during anesthesia and hematoma recurrence. At present, the
mechanism of cSDH is not completely clear. Our previous observational studies had shown
significant correlation between cSDH and intracranial hypotension. So we would like to
conduct a randomized, controlled, multi-center clinical study to explore the effectiveness
and safety of low intracranial pressure treatment strategies for patients with chronic
subdural hematoma.
