Subacute and chronic subdural hematoma in young population less than 40 years

Young adults with CSDH show less severe clinical and radiologic features as well as fewer recurrences than noted in the elderly population. In young adults with unexplained headaches, there should be low threshold for computed tomographic scan of brain. Burr hole evacuation is satisfactory and histological examination is mandatory particularly in cases where there is no history of trauma.
