Abstract
It has become increasingly clear that the acute thin subdural hematomas detected in the very early period following trauma can disappear spontaneously within a day [1–6]. We have experienced 10 cases of such hematomas since our initial reports [3]. It seems that the earlier the initial CT scan is taken, the more frequently such hematomas are encountered.
