title: [Early and late results of the surgical treatment of chronic subdural hematoma].
abstract: The authors compare the surgical results in 90 patients with chronic subdural haematomas. 61 of them were treated by burr-holes and 29 by craniotomy with capsulectomy. Postoperative mortality was much higher in the second group-20.5%, compared with the first group-1.6%. In follow-up the authors found a high number of epileptic fits in patients treated by burr-holes, while none of the patients treated by craniotomy with capsulectomy suffered from epilepsy.
