Isolated Intraventricular Haemorrhage Following Evacuation of Chronicsubacute Haemorrhage: A Case Report
Abstract
Chronic subdural haemorrhage is commonly encountered in the elderly. However, the outcomes of surgery for chronic subdural haemorrhage are frequently benign; surgeons may sometimes encounter unexpected complications after evacuation of chronic subdural haemorrhage as isolated intra-ventricular haemorrhage. A few hypotheses have been developed to explain this phenomenon. Here, we present a case report and explain this phenomenon with new a hypothesis.
