Recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma after trepanation and drainage.
To sum up the causes of recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) from failure of trepanation and drainage and explore its prevention and treatment. ⋯ Most CSDHs which recur after trepanation and drainage can be cured by retrepanation and redrainage. For the patients with repeated recurrence of CSDH removal of hematoma capsule can be considered. The causes of recurrence of CSDH are related to disease course, the thickness of hematoma capsule, the severity of encephalatraphy and whether the hematoma cavity is drained or irrigated completely, and operation methods.
