Spontaneous Acute Subdural Hematoma following Contralateral Calcified Chronic Subdural Hematoma Surgery: An Unusual Case

Calcified chronic subdural hematoma (CCSDH) is a well-known disease to many neurosurgeons but only few cases have been reported regarding its surgical complications. We report a spontaneous acute subdural hematoma following contralateral CCSDH surgery in a 16-year-old boy and discuss its possible mechanisms. The first few days of the postoperative period, especially for the cerebral atrophy cases, should be monitored carefully and a control computerized tomography scan should be performed early for possible complications. To our knowledge, spontaneous acute subdural hematoma following contralateral CCSDH surgery has not been reported previously.
