Abstract

Background

Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a common neurosurgical pathology causing significant morbidity and mortality, yet optimal management and intervention remains controversial.

Methods

We describe embolization of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) and placement of subdural evacuating port systems (SEPS) by a dual trained open and endovascular neurosurgeon. Both procedures are done in sequence in the interventional radiology suite, and real time radiographic results are demonstrable with Xper-CT.

Conclusions

MMA Embolization followed by evacuation of cSDH with a SEPS is a valuable strategy to mitigate perioperative risk factors and patient comorbidities, through a minimally invasive evacuation with subsequent embolization minimizing recurrence.

期刊介绍： The journal "Acta Neurochirurgica" publishes only original papers useful both to research and clinical work. Papers should deal with clinical neurosurgery - diagnosis and diagnostic techniques, operative surgery and results, postoperative treatment - or with research work in neuroscience if the underlying questions or the results are of neurosurgical interest. Reports on congresses are given in brief accounts. As official organ of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies the journal publishes all announcements of the E.A.N.S. and reports on the activities of its member societies. Only contributions written in English will be accepted.
