AbstractCalcified chronic subdural hematoma (CCSDH) is a well-known disease to many neurosurgeons but only few cases have been reported regarding its surgical complications. We report a spontaneous acute subdural hematoma following contralateral CCSDH surgery in a 16-year-old boy and discuss its possible mechanisms. The first few days of the postoperative period, especially for the cerebral atrophy cases, should be monitored carefully and a control computerized tomography scan should be performed early for possible complications. To our knowledge, spontaneous acute subdural hematoma following contralateral CCSDH surgery has not been reported previously.Copyright (c) 2006 S. Karger AG, Basel.
