A developed society is usually also characterized by an elderly population, which
has a continuous percentage growth. This population frequently presents a cumulus
of medical pathologies. With the development of the medication and surgical
treatment of different affections, the life span has increased and the pathology
of an old patient has diversified as far as the cumulus of various pathological
diseases in the same person is concerned. Chronic subdural pathologies represent
an affection frequently met in neurosurgery practice. Any neurosurgeon,
neurologist and not only, has to be aware of the possibility of the existence of
a chronic subdural haematoma, especially when the patient is old and is subjected
to an anticoagulant or antiaggregant treatment, these 2 causes being by far the
etiological factors most frequently met in chronic subdural haematomas. With an
adequate diagnosis and treatment, usually surgical, the prognosis is favorable.
Although the surgical treatment presents a categorical indication in most of the
cases, the fact that there are many surgical techniques, a great relapse rate, as
well as the numerous studies, which try to highlight the efficiency of a
technique as compared to another, demonstrate that the treatment of these
haematomas is far from reaching a consensus among the neurosurgeons. The latest
conservatory treatment directions are still being studied and need many years to
be confirmed. ABBREVIATIONS: CT = computerized tomography, MRI = magnetic
