Descripción: Subdural haematoma was one of the first neurological lesions to be treated by man. Prehistoric man performed trepanation. Later, Hippocrates and Galen described cases with recovery after evacuation of clot which were probably subdural haematomas. As the science of medicine evolved over the centuries, investigators have argued about the etiology of this lesion. Up to now many questions have been answered. But in spite of modern knowledge of anatomy and physiology, the mechanism of chronic subdural haematoma remains obscure. This study was undertaken to add more basic knowledge to this essential question. Attempts were made to produce experimental subdural haematomas in animals. Radio-isotopes were used to trace the route of absorption of haematoma in animals and as a diagnostic aid in detecting lesions in human cases.
