| Summary: | Aim: Chronic Subdural hematomas (CDSH) first reported in 1656 by JJ Wepfer. In 1857 CSDH was defined as Pachimenengitis hemoragyca interna. Frequency of CSDH changes with age progression. İt’s reported in literature; CDSH coexists %60-80 with minor head trauma. We aimed to present our experience in follow-up and treatment of patients with CSDH which are frequently encountered in routine neurosurgical practice. Materials and Methods: Cases of CSDH which were operated between January 2016- December 2017 evaluated retrospectively from Clinical Files. The patients' clinical files were evaluated retrospectively according to age, gender, personal background, complaint, use of anticoagulant, presence of head trauma, radiologic images, hematologic parameters, type of anesthesia, surgical method and recurrence rates.Results: The study consists of total 67 cases which %20,9 (n=14) female and %79,1 (n=53) male. The ages of the cases ranged from 16 to 91 years with an average of 68,60 ± 16,45 years. The duration of hospitalization according to gender and age, the duration of hospitalization according to the presence of additional disease and the types of additional diseases seen, the duration of hospitalization according to drug use and anesthesia type (p> 0.05), between N / L and residence time (r: 0,222; p > 0.05) were not statistically significant.Conclusions: However, it may seem so basic; Choices about Surgical techniques and type of anesthesia are effective about mortality and morbidity. Because of duration of surgery is shorter; it is shown that Surgeries performed with Sedoanalgesia and local anesthesia can be used safely especially for patients with comorbidity.
