Abstract
Chronic subdural hematoma is one of the most common disease entities in neurosurgical practice. Prognosis is generally good, even in geriatric patients, but both the pathogenesis and treatment of this condition are still matters of controversy. The current study deals with the factors which determine prognosis in chronic subdural hematoma in older patients.
