Abstract
These 2 cases highlight the 2 principal pathogenesis theories for the development of subdural hygromas (arachnoid tear and effusion) and suggest a theory for their sudden and spontaneous resolution: the pressure equilibrium opening the valve created by the arachnoid tear. Eventhough surgical treatment remains the recommended attitude, these cases show that conservative treatment can be an option in some cases.
