Abstract (english)
Background: Infratentorial chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is still a rather elusive neurosurgical entity, which, due to its proximity and likely compression of the cerebellum and brainstem, can lead to devastating consequences. To establish standardized treatment, more studies and reports regarding its therapy are needed. We report a case of a simultaneous unilateral supratentorial and bilateral infratentorial cSDH, with the latter causing hydrocephalus and successfully treated with a bilateral burr-hole trepanation of occipital bone and placement of subdural drains. Case description: A 71-year-old man with gait disturbance, Glasgow Coma Scale 12, and a radiologically verified unilateral supratentorial and bilateral cSDH of the posterior fossa causing cerebellum, brainstem, and fourth ventricle compression with obstructive hydrocephalus, underwent surgical evacuation of infratentorial hematoma with a bilateral burr-hole trepanation. The postoperative course was uneventful, with a control head computed tomography scan showing the resolution of the hematoma and hydrocephalus. The patient was discharged with no newly acquired neurological deficits. Conclusion: Due to a limited number of reports and studies involving infratentorial cSDHs causing hydrocephalus, decision-making and optimal surgical treatment remain unclear. We recommend a timely surgical evacuation of the hematoma if the patient is symptomatic while avoiding placement of external ventricular drainage.
